Die DDR hat's nie gegeben deals with the experience of loss and closely investigates the process of how time affects childhood memories — including the topography they reside in. Having grown up in East Germany in the early years following Reunification, the remnants of the former German Democratic Republic (DDR) have been steady pillars in the process of my own upbringing — both physically, as well as mentally. Die DDR hat's nie gegeben is therefore a series revolving around a scene that I have called home my entire life. It aims to discuss critical perception and awareness of the topography, still accompanied by immensely eclectic post-soviet architecture, prejudices, poverty and political instability in an abstract manner that heavily emphasizes the subjective reproduction of childhood memories. As time progresses, these memories become hollow in a way, as they by now lack a place they are attached to. And so they wander around, aimlessly, shared by millions, only to never find home again.
