From 1977 to 1990 Gundula Schulze worked on various photo series with which she caused a stir and occasionally attracted the displeasure of the authorities. The black and white cycles Berlin in a dog's night, work, nude portraits, Tamerlan, street scene, the wind fills with water and the two color cycles The big and the small step and The last ones bite the dogs were created by 1990 . In 1985 she met the American photographer Robert Frank , who promoted her and invited her to New York in 1990 . This began a series of trips and work stays, the Gundula Schulze Eldowy to Italy (1991), to Egypt (1993-2000), to Japan (1996/97), to Moscow (1997), to Turkey (1997) and 2001 finally led to Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador.

In 2004 she founded the Casa de Arte El rostro inconcebible in Peru together with her husband Javier A. Garcia Vásquez . In 2010 she became a member of the Saxon Academy of the Arts . She lives in Berlin and Peru. In addition to the photographic and film work, stories, poems, essays, sound collages and chants were created.
