Punk in the GDR

Photography by Harald Hauswald who recorded life in East Germany in the 70s and 80s - including those who were rebelling against the norm.

"For me, taking photographs that the GDR authorities did not like was a kind of inner liberation. To not be able to travel freely when you’re young is very depressing. Taking photographs was the work I did to fight against that feeling. A kind of tit for tat. If you hurt me, I hurt you."
