Christine Furuya-Gössler's Photographs: A Powerful Memento
Christine Furuya-Gössler's photographs are a powerful reminder of a life cut short.
A new book from Choose Commune and Seiichi Furuya showcases her distinctive body of work, taken before her premature death in 1985.
Seiichi Furuya, an image maker, has become known for his intimate portraits of Christine, his late wife, during their seven years together.
- They spent their time together as a couple, then as husband and wife, and later as parents.
- Their life was marked by soft mundanity and Seiichi's dedication to their family.
- Their story is set against the backdrop of East Germany's brutalist beauty, shortly before the wall fell.
His work has always felt like a stolen, precious insight into the life of a small family existing on the cusp of history.
However, the context of Christine's later years - she struggled with mental health issues and took her own life in 1985 - has imbued the images with a sense of sadness.
Author's summary: Christine Furuya-Gössler's photographs are a poignant reminder of her life.
