Wohnzimmer

In Living Rooms, Margit Emmrich turns her attention to people in 1976 - captured in the spaces where their lives were most personal. The photographs portray residents in interiors that reflect their daily routines, aspirations, and the visual language of the 1970s. Amid carefully arranged furniture and characteristic GDR patterns, an immediate picture of lived reality and self-understanding emerges. Emmrich’s images reveal how profoundly rooms can hold and convey stories. The series offers a rare, authentic insight into an everyday life that now feels almost historical.
