Summary:

The observations that Ulrich Wust captures in his photographs may have their roots in the division of Germany and the processes of surmounting it. However, they also invariably deal with universal phenomena of social change and the material forms in which it manifests. His images, which appear laconic but are composed with extreme precision, are the result of long visual wanderings to places of recent historical significance. The volume of photographs brings together a selection of different series from the last forty years, including "Sadtbilder" 1979 - 1985, "Mitte: Berlin" 1995 - 1997 and "Randlage: Die Gemeinde Nordwestuckermark" 2014 - 2019. Ulrich Wust, b. 1949 in Magdeburg, studied at the University of Architecture and Civil Engineering in Weimar, before working as an urban planner and photo editor. Since 1984 he has lived as a freelance photographer in Berlin and Schönhof. Matthias Flugge, b. 1952 in Demmin, is a German art historian and curator.

Das fotografische Werk von Ulrich Wüst kann aus verschiedenen Perspektiven wahrgenommen werden. Die Beobachtungen, die er in seinen Bildern festhält, mögen letztlich ihre Wurzeln in der deutschen Teilung und deren Überwindung haben. Sie betreffen jedoch immer auch universelle Phänomene gesellschaftlicher Wandlungen und deren materielle Erscheinungsformen. Die scheinbar lapidaren, höchst präzise komponierten Bilder sind Ergebnis langer visueller Wanderungen in gegenwärtigen Orten der jüngsten Geschichte.
