In Berlin, the great Galerie Berinson presents a representative cross-section of Lithuanian photography from the 60s and 70s by showing 71 masterpieces in black and white from twelve Lithuanian photographers. The works are photographic reports from a social, political and artistic epoch everyday life under and beyond socialism.

Amongst the selection of works are shown photographs by three of the most influential photographers from Eastern Europe:Vitas Luckus(1943-1987),Aleksandras Macijauskas(*1938), andAntanas Sutkus(*1939) who is honored with the Dr. Erich-Salomon-Award from the German society for Photography (DGPh). Lithuanias history of photography is shaped by both, the influences from Western Europe and the Soviet cultural context. Between 1945 and 1991 a narrative- descriptive reporting photography developed known as the Lithuanian photography school in the history of photography.

Here, the photographers concentrate on a personal and realistic depiction of everyday life.The fundamental loci of life are central ones homeland, the market place, the countryside. Their works withdrew from the largely anonymous and ideologically influenced photography scene of the Soviet Union and became a kind of subtle social criticism that focused on profane and simple subjects.
