East German Portraits 1989-1990: In the period of upheaval following the fall of the Berlin Wall, photographer Stefan Moses used the opportunity to portray people from the GDR. An exhibition in Berlin's Bröhan Museum shows a selection of these photographs under the title: Farewell and Beginning (Abschied und Anfang).

Stefan Moses (1928-2018) : «Never again will these faces be so expectant and open. The summary of a life in the homeland in a hundredth of a second, that can really only the photography. The moment of truth in seconds from the optical book of hours at the turn of the century, snapshot of an upheaval - after so few years it has become a historical protocol».
