{"product_id":"9783959051286","title":"Seiichi Furuya: Why Dresden: Photographs 1984\/85 \u0026 2015","description":"\u003cp\u003eSeiichi Furuya’s Dresden photographs from 1984\/85 are a most unlikely document — a view of daily life in the latter days of the GDR recorded by a Japanese photographer, who had been a major player in the photography scene in Austria since the beginning of the 1980s. Furuya came to Dresden as an interpreter for a Japanese construction company. His pictures are private — a young family in an intimate setting, their deep-seated anxieties and moments of happiness — and it is more in passing that he records everyday life and society. His view from the outside, a stranger’s way of seeing things, has no equivalent in the art photography of the GDR. In 2015 an exhibition project brought Furuya back to Dresden, where he took a series of new pictures: photographs of familiar places, onto which capitalist life has now inscribed itself, thirty years on, and of the Pegida demonstrations that have completely transformed the image of the city.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Red Window Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039017091312,"sku":"9783959051286","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783959051286_p0.jpg?v=1769889033","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783959051286","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
