Publisher Note
"I have two lives and one biography," said Thomas Oberlender, playwright from East Germany.
The images and texts collected in this volume investigate these double lives from the 100 welcome marks - the so-called Begrüßungsgeld - offered by the Federal Republic of Germany to each inhabitant from the East the first time visiting the country: a highly symbolic gift in the memory of every person born in the GDR.
The photographer Tommaso Bonaventura and the curator Elisa Del Prete face the complexity and uniqueness of the change that occurred with the disappearance of this country in a plural story, where the story is intimately mixed with the life of individuals.
