Pewo's Report on the Situation for Youth. It shows a cross-section of Woelck's observations of various different scenes and contexts of youth culture against the background of the social upheaval of the past few decades.
Peter Woelck (1948–2010) studied photography at the Academy of
Visual Arts Leipzig. Following graduation, he worked as a
photographer for cultural offices, newspapers, publishers,
television, and various larger companies in East Germany. Parallel
to the commissioned works, he also made many independent pieces in
the areas of social reporting and architectural photography: views
of the construction of the Berlin Television Tower and the
Friedrichstadt-Palast, portraits of the rural population
in the Erz Mountains and of street workers in Leipzig during the
1960s, photos of dance competitions and musical events in the
1970s up to his documentation of the raves of the early 1990s.
The exhibition PEWO’s Report on the Situation for Youth is
the second undertaking on the part of the ‘AG Woelck’
(Klein/Klotzek/Schmitz) to present segments of the photographer’s
extensive archive. It shows a cross-section of Woelck’s
observations of various different scenes and contexts of youth
culture against the background of the social upheaval of the past
few decades.
