Wanderings About History: The Photography of Ulrich Wüst Published by Spector Books. Text by Matthias Flügge. Wüst’s photographs of Soviet and post-Soviet East Germany rehash the legacy of the Cold War Originally a city planner, German photographer Ulrich Wüst (born 1949) has photographed the derelict buildings and bleak landscapes of East Germany from the GDR era to the present day. While hyperlocal, his black-and-white images speak to universal phenomena of social change and its material manifestations.
