Shameless?

The special exhibition “Shameless? Sexual Morality in Transition” in House of History of the Federal Republic of Germany With around 900 objects, it sheds light on the changes in the way morality and sexuality have been dealt with since the end of the Second World War – from the prudishness of the post-war period to the “sexual revolution” and the “Law on Registered Life Partnerships”.

The first presentation took place in the Contemporary History Forum Leipzig of the Haus der Geschichte Foundation from November 2014 to April 2015. There were eight works from my series in the exhibition “Anti-authoritarian children’s store versus Protestant kindergarten in 1970” shown:
