Limited edition art book published by Archive of Modern Conflict, one of the world's largest private archives!
After World War I, the Weimar Republic (now Germany) was shaken by inflation caused by enormous reparations and revolutionary movements. From cabarets and dance halls to bedrooms, people danced and drank as a way to escape reality during this turbulent time. A number of previously unpublished photographs capture the fleeting atmosphere of parties, where anxiety about a new era flickers behind the glamour. This is a valuable document of urban culture on the verge of succumbing to Nazism.
In the aftermath of World War I, the Weimar Republic (in present-day Germany) was shaken by hyperinflation brought on by enormous reparations and by revolutionary unrest. From cabarets and dance halls to private bedrooms, people sought escape from the turmoil by dancing, drinking, and plunging into nightlife. This book presents a trove of previously unpublished photographs that capture the fleeting atmosphere of these parties—moments of glamour shadowed by an undercurrent of anxiety about the future. A rare visual document of an urban culture poised on the brink of its turn toward Nazism.
