Anyone who hasn’t done that before should give it a try and quickly flip through the nude photos from the past 150 years: it’s amazing how time and society can be reflected in what seem like the same images of shoulders and arms, breasts, buttocks, and legs!
That also goes for Thomas Karsten: anyone who buys this book will, twenty years from now, discover that they have bought a piece of historical time as well. Spaces, backgrounds and props quietly tell of the origin of the models. Without it being stated explicitly, the viewer quickly notices: these are East German women who have undressed to be photographed by Karsten. As is often the case with photo albums, the faces of the photographed are particularly fascinating. Do eastern and western physiognomies exist? The reviewer is almost inclined to believe so.
