Porträt Familie M. (Dipl.-Ing für Elektrotechnik; Ökonom), Cottbus 1983. Vintage gelatin silver print. 12,8 x 17,9 cm. Titled and dated by the photographer in pencil and with photographer's stamp on the verso.

This photograph belongs to Christian Borchert's extensive long-term project “Familienporträts” (Family Portraits), which captured diverse social environments in East Germany between the 1970s-1990s. Distancing himself from official state propaganda, Borchert focused on the subtle reality of domestic life, using precise compositions and natural lighting to reveal the unique social status, personal taste, and psychological dynamics of each family within their private spaces.
