"The reserved contemporary photography you were talking about is a consequence of the Düsseldorf photo school, founded by the Bechers. Are the Mahlers and the Bechers something like a German-German dialectic? Ute Mahler: Don’t ask us about that.
Werner Mahler: It’s difficult to compare us with stars whose work is shown in all the major museums of the world.
Ute Mahler: Our temperament is different.
Werner Mahler: They had the idea to take photos of all those industrial structures that would disappear and to thus preserve them. The fact that a wonderful artistic work has evolved from that is great.
Ute Mahler: But when we started to take photos, we knew: This all here is going to stay this way forever. There never was the thought that there would some day be an end to the GDR."
