Exhibition Catalog
Ed. by Ela Kacel and Barbara Engelbach. Museum Ludwig, Cologne, 2021. Published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther und Franz Konig, Cologne.

ISBN 9783753300382
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. An important starting point is documents of stories of migration from DOMiD (Documentation Center and Museum of Migration). In interviews, the lenders of the works in the exhibition talk about their diverse histories. They offer an account of life in the city and how it was enlivened by their immigration. Their personal photographs show how streets, buildings, shops, bars, social clubs, and parks become places of remembrance and part of the city𠏋 history. The exhibition deals with the role of photography in this context. It combines these new and surprising cityscapes with photographs of urban life by Chargesheimer, Candida Höfer, and Ulrich Tillmann from the collection of the Museum Ludwig as well as photographs by Christel Fomm, Gernot Huber, and Guenay Ulutuncok, among others. Beyond the fleeting experiences of life in the city, these photographic stories of migration show the various ways in which people can find their place in a new city.
