GDR August 31, 1985, Klubhaus in Coswig/Dresden - "Intermedia I - Farbraum/Klangbild"- the event was the first and, as it turned out, the last exhibition by the subculture in East Germany, in which over 40 visual artists and twice as many musicians, performers and super 8 film photographers participated. About 1,200 visitors travelled from all over the GDR to witness a six hour programme on both evenings. It remains unclear to this day how many informers working for the Stasi were among them.
For this film, director Marc Thümmler visited some of the places that Hauswald photographed in the 1980s with Harald Hauswald. There, the photographer talks about his life in the DDR.
Harald Hauswald is a German photographer who became known for his everyday and Berlin photographs. He is co-founder of the Ostkreuz photo agency.
