An entire generation has now passed since Germany’s reunification, and Susanne Huth has gone in search of the East Germany of her childhood; a search reflected in the artist’s architecture photographs, but also in the sweet reproductions of the poetry album of her childhood, which in a subtly poetic way already hinted at political resistance. Recollections of an age where a verse by Goethe or a glittering sticker could represent a form of passive resistance.
Susanne Huth has worked with the art book medium on several occasions already, but mostly only in the form of unique copies or entirely hand-made editions. Poesie [Poetry] is her first book publication. In her essay Poesiealbum Magdeburg-Nord, Berlin author Annett Gröschner explores the relationship between public and private, again from an historical-autobiographical perspective.
