Description
Photographs of Cologne and other cities in the Rhineland from 1955-89 highlight how urban spaces are constantly changed by their inhabitants. This publication focuses on the diverse, lesser-known stories of migrant workers who used photography as a medium to situate themselves within the reality of their new lives. Their private pictures convey personal stories of being excluded or welcomed and the absence or presence of familiar people. The photo stories shown here were compiled based on interviews with the photographers and eyewitnesses, and are contrasted by public images, in which the migrant workers frequently appear as a nameless group.
