Leipzig im Umbruch - Ralf Schuhmann. Fotografien 1991 bis 2004
In the organizer's words:
Ralf Schuhmann's photographs show Leipzig's rapid structural transformation from 1991 to 2004, with the city's characteristic Wilhelminian-style buildings standing in sharp contrast to large-scale renovation and new construction projects. The photographer uses images of building sites and construction cranes rising up in the city to make it clear that the transition to a new beginning and something completely new was a lengthy and eventful process. The much-cited "boomtown Leipzig" of those years also had its downsides, as not everything that needed to be rebuilt was always carefully renovated and preserved, especially at the beginning of the urban upheaval. A selection of black and white and color photographs compiled by Leipzig-born Ralf Schuhmann looks back on this intense period of urban change and the city's more recent history. Two overview maps help to locate the places where the photos were taken.
