“During the dictatorship, there were rumors of a “During the dictatorship, there were rumors of a bathroom made of pure gold. When I first entered it, I was immediately reminded of Lee Miller’s iconic photograph. In the former Romanian police state, the omnipresent Ceaușescu portrait was turned into a mask due to the ritualized personality cult practiced. State artists praised Nicolae (and Elena) Ceaușescu in nationalist odes as “The Titan of Titans” or “The Genius of the Carpathians”. Demonstratively simple working clothes of the dictator couple were presented to the public, but behind them hid opulent kitsch that the couple lived out in their private home”. 📸@anton_roland_laub on his project “Of Titans and Geniuses” . Born and raised in Bucharest, Anton Roland Laub lives and works in Berlin. Romania’s recent history, as well as the legacy of Ceaușescu’s dictatorship, are one of the main focuses of his artistic practice. His work is based on extensive research and engages with subversive approaches in decoding reality constructions, proxy strategies and phantoms of power. . This is our final post from our takeover of Spectrum’s IG account. Dear Spectrum, thank you very much for inviting us, it has been an honor! Dear all, thank you for your time and appreciation, we had a blast. We hope you’re all well and that we will soon see the end of this. Also, do not forget that artists are hit especially hard by this crisis, and that art is not a luxury, but forms an essential part of our (still) functioning democracies. So if you find a way to support your favorite artist, do it - buy their art, spread the word about their work or let them know you appreciate what they do. Much love, @eepberlin’s team❤️
“Naively imagining organs that humans lost throu “Naively imagining organs that humans lost throughout the process of evolution and rudiments not completely developed, the series becomes a conversation between body and sculpture, between past and post. It is a story of blurred lines and merged forms, where skin and stone represent the same and rudimentary organs were not lost. It can be confusing, doubtful, awkward, but ultimately still human.” @yulo_khan on her project “Rudiments” . Yuliya Khan was born in 1991 in Almaty, Kazakhstan. She recently graduated from Master Photography at Ecal. During her studies there she was working on the development of her photographic practice with a strong interest in photo-book production. In ‘Rudiments’ (2018) she was experimenting with different materials like clay, plaster, resin, and silicone, she started a series of sculptures that were in the shape of body parts. The project is based on her research within both the photographic medium and sculpture, exploring how the photographic image can transmit the material and formal characteristics of the created artifacts in an almost mystical way. . The spread you see is a part of Yuliya’s feature at eep Vol.1 as it was designed by @goodkidinbadplaces who is a multimedia artist, specializing in photography, graphic design and book-making. . The eep Magazine is the first photography journal dedicated solely to the little known art and photography scenes of Eastern Europe. It is published by @eepberlin. It features 41 artists from 18 countries on 312 beautifully designed pages without ads. Its focus lies in uncovering the hidden nuances, dialogues and contrasts in the works of emerging and established Eastern European visual artists and photographers. . We explore the absurdity of the Eastern European experience as endured by generations of artists who continuously have reflected on issues related to abrupt societal changes, war, migration and complex family history juxtaposed against the backdrop of mutually exclusive cultural legacies and political systems. . #eepberlin #yuliyakhan #contemporaryphoto #sculpture #ecal #eepmagazine
“The word ‘chuzhbina’ translates from Bulgar “The word ‘chuzhbina’ translates from Bulgarian to English as foreign land. But often describes a non-existent place, an illusory location, which cannot be found on any map, nevertheless it could be accessed by anybody. It is simply an invention of the tongue; the term contains simultaneously the essence of a no-man’s land and la dolce vita. For many years, the East has seen the West as a paradise, a space of possibilities. Due to the past political system and its regulations, the citizens of Eastern Europe weren’t allowed to travel, and all they owned were the dreams of chuzhbina, thus after the fall of communism in 1989 the migration rates increased extremely. Soon after leaving steps on the other side of the wall, the idea of life abroad met the unexpected reality of being an immigrant.” 📸@krasimirabutseva on her project “4uzhbina” . Krasimira Butseva is a visual artist, researcher and writer investigating Eastern European trauma, history and memory. In her multi-disciplinary practice, she employs moving image, photography, sound and text. Krasimira is also an associate lecturer in BA Photography at the University of the Arts London LCC, co-founder of Revolv Collective and co-editor of the eep Magazine. .

"I was going from one photo to another, from lette "I was going from one photo to another, from letter to letter. There were dates, names, wishes, thoughts written on the back of many photographs. Sometimes, I was unable to read the handwriting on the back of the picture. Then suddenly, I succeeded and it opened a way further in the deep, and so it went along all the branches of the family tree. It was amazing to see the life of each of the families I could have never known anything about before captured in these old images. Even minor details about my long-gone relatives made them alive and truly close. Photography became the only way for me to break through time and become sincerely involved in it." 📸@valentin_sidor ‘Roots of the Heart Grow Together’ Valentin Sidorenko was born in 1995 in the small town of Gornyak, which is situated in Altai Krai on the border of Russia with Kazakhstan. He works as an animator, production designer and documentary filmmaker. Consequentially, time is a key theme in his work. He is interested in the past, found imagery, and memories as the source of his creativity. Interweaving variations of the past which extert their influence on the present and future. For his work on "Roots of the Heart Grow Together" he combines two photo archives from the two sides of his family in an attempt to recreate the bond between them and between his family past and himself. . “It was important for me to create a complete third image from the two inital photographs in order to create a palpable connection between the generations. In the process, it turned out that it does not matter how many images I had because only a few would work together." .

"48% of Istanbul’s population identify themselve "48% of Istanbul’s population identify themselves as young. Our current society reflects upon the deeds of our past. The decisions that were once made are still visible." . “Cold Sweat” by @yagizyesilkaya . Yağız Yeşilkaya is a contemporary lens-based artist working in Istanbul. His work is focused on the struggles of the millenial generation in Turkey. Through personal observations from the inside he creates an intimate narrative about the unbearable ’lightness’ of being young and different while losing the sense of home and a ‘safe place’. “This system based on fear doesn’t let anything emerge, anything other than what is classified as ‘normal’.” His visual research combines portraiture with accounts of the physical artifacts left by the hidden violence to which he and his peers are exposed while growing up behind the continuously tightening grip of Erdogan’s era. . The eep Magazine is the first journal dedicated solely to the work of Eastern European visual artists and photographers. eep Vol.1 contains 41 carefully selected artists from 18 different countries on 312 beautifully designed pages containing portfolios, interviews, research articles and no ads.

‚New concepts and possible futures are born whil ‚New concepts and possible futures are born while photography is being transformed further into a philosophical research tool, thus permitting a new view of the world, where one adopts the “position of a key agent and narrator of history” observing from a “nonhuman” perspective.‘ 📸 @geistek . “In her project “You Belong to Me”, Lithuanian artist Geistė Marija Kinčinaitytė (b.1991) uses images of the surface of Mars taken by NASA rovers equipped with visionary science instruments, and juxtaposes them with her own analogue photographs of Icelandic landscapes. The conflict that stems in this work is for the viewer, who happens to be lost in recognising which images are taken by a human and which by a machine. On a closer inspection, it can be seen that the rovers’ pictures are actually two images that are automatically combined, further pointing to the illusion of the photograph as a straight-forward representation. On the other hand, the black and white images entailed in the project become a poetic manifestation of humankind’s one-way amorous infatuation with the distant planet. This unrequited love provokes even greater love, which Kinčinaitytė fits into one phrase - You Belong to Me.” . . This is an excerpt from the research article ‘New Generation of Lithuanian Artists’ by @kasia.jankovska and Maya Hristova featuring works by Geistė Marija Kinčinaitytė, @kvietkus_sarunas @daliamikonyte and @adomaszudys . You can read the full arricle in Vol.1 of the eep Magazine. If you want to read a gorgeous exhibition review of Kinčinaitytė’s latest work ‘smooth space, pleated’ by @joginte_bucinskaite you can visit eepberlin.org. ‘smooth space, pleated’  which took place last month at @galerijavartai is accompanied by ‘The Pool’ a publication with text by extremely talented curator-writer @elai_ne__ , design by Eva Mozaz and diagrams by Arthur Gouillart which is available online for free. It revolves around Kinčinaitytė’s debut film piece — a video essay entitled ‘The Pool’. . #eepberlin #geistekincinaityte #lithuanianphotography #jogintebucinskaite #elainetam #youbelongtome #eepmagazine
„Remember how in the 90s we had cockroaches at h „Remember how in the 90s we had cockroaches at home, and when you lit the stove the floor turned red from them? I once stole money that you were saving up for winter boots and bought Snickers bars for all my friends, and then was too scared to go home and you had to go looking for me. And remember when the two of us lugged home eight bags of apples? We laughed the whole time, it was such great fun, and everyone was still alive back then. And the time someone was shot in the courtyard. The shots woke me up and I lay there in unbearable silence. I could hear them downstairs whispering about throwing the body in a lake. “Take his legs, I said take his legs, fuck.” And then silence again. Everyone around me was asleep so nobody else heard it. I was really scared, and you weren’t there anymore to tell you about it.“ 📸 @lia_dostlieva & Andrii Dostliev @el_gerund Hi guys, here is @eepberlin taking over Spectrum‘s account. Lia Dostlieva and Andrii Dostliev are contemporary Ukrainian visual artists, cultural anthropologists and researchers. Primary areas of their research include the issues of trauma, postmemory, commemorative practices, and agency and visibility of vulnerable groups. For eep Vol.1 we selected their project ‚Fairy Castles of Donetsk‘ (2018). In it, they invited friends and strangers to share their intimate memories from Donetsk in the 90s. Afterwards, they used lego bricks to make models of the places from those stories. ‘These models aren’t perfect representations, but they help create an emotional and material connection with the past, serving as both a symbol and a tool of that connection.’ . Donetsk and its surrounding areas have been one of the main sites of combat in the ongoing Donbass War since April 2014, as pro-Russian separatist forces are battling Ukrainian military forces to secure the city and surrounding areas. Donetsk International Airport became the center of the war with nearly a year-long fighting which led to major civilian casualties and a complete destruction of the city's northeastern neighbourhoods. . . #eepberlin #andriidostliev #liadostlieva #dontesk #ukrainianphotographer #easterneuropean #contemporaryphoto #eepmagazine
‘I remembered my art history teacher who used to ‘I remembered my art history teacher who used to say “The artist is always alone with their art.” So, in Goa, I decided that I would take pictures only up to 50 meters from where I lived. I focused on the people who came by, the neighbor’s boy, animals, used objects and plants which were growing in the territory where I was involved. I had to do everything on my own, with my own hands.’ . ’50 Meters’ by @yugayyan This is an excerpt from our interview with Russian lens-based artist Yan Yugay about his work on the ’50 meters’ project as it was published in Vol. 1 of the eep Magazine. . A few words about @eepberlin - We are a Berlin-based photography platform dedicated to presenting the works of contemporary authors from Eastern Europe to Berlin audiences. We do research, curate exhibitions, offer a fine selection of fine art prints and publish stories online. Our latest project is the eep Magazine, volume 1 of which came out last October.

"This image of my mum and her brother was taken in "This image of my mum and her brother was taken in 1975 when she was about 4 years of age. During that time, people usually did not have a camera at home, so they were going to a photography studio for a professional to take their portraits. There was not necessarily any special occasion for it. My grandmother would often take my mum and her brother to the photo studio in Levice, my hometown in Slovakia, to make portraits of them in order to remember them at a certain age." @zuzanapustaiova . Hi everyone, this is @eepberlin taking over! We hope you are all well and able to be close to your loved ones. Also, do not forget that artists are hit especially hard by this crisis, so if you can find a way to support your favorite artist, do it - buy their art, spread the word about their talent or let them know how much you appreciate what they do. . This week we’ll be sharing with you a special selection of artists from Vol.1 of the eep Magazine starting with the COVER by gorgeous Slovakian artist Zuzana Pustaiová. For the creation of her “Family Album” series, she modifies photographs found in her family archive and crafts them into new objects adding elements of painting and various other materials such as lace and fabrics to their surface. By incorporating everyday objects found within the confinements of her family home into her collages she is able to reinvent her relationship with her family history. During her childhood, she learned to do embroidery from her mother and grandmother, a skill which today enables her to sneak into the scenery of the actual photograph and form narratives through its materiality. Within this body of work, consisting of more than 150 individually crafted pieces, Pustaiová negotiates the spaces of intimate family past on the backgrounds of history in her native Sovakia spanning from the 1970’s all throughout the 1990’s. In these images, the artist reimagines the ruptures of European history, the possibilities of legislation and the politics of the present and questions various scenarios preexisting in the minds of the contemporary viewer. . . #eepberlin #easterneuropean #contemporaryphoto #zuzanapustaiova #eepmagazine
