Tilo Schulz: Formschon

Tilo Schulz (b. 1972) grew up with the split he examines here: Formalism was degenerate, "the cult of the ugly and the immoral," and Socialist Realism was creating the utopia to come, reflecting "strengths, nobleness and beauty." Here—as a victor writing history—he reinterprets the struggle of ideologies through his current work.
