Später Sommer/Letzter Herbst.

A woman in a long coat and two men in short leather jackets stand looking out at the open sea holding bags and suitcases, their trousers rolled up and their bare feet in the water. How did this trio end up here? Who are they waiting for? Are they traveling or fleeing? This erratic scene is exemplary of Ulrich Wüst’s series “Late Summer” documenting East Germany around the time the Wall came down. In these photographs, unmediated interiority meets absolute exposure. This quiet collision gives rise to absurd, apparently unconnected situations whose narrative openness challenges viewers to explore their own associations. Ulrich Wüst’s analytic, purist black-and-white photographic cycles narrate his own personal experiences in times of massive transition and simultaneously comment on a significant chapter of German history.
