These private snapshots illustrate how streets, buildings, shops, pubs and parks can serve as a platform for personal memories and play an integral role in the city’s history. The exhibition was conceptualised by Ela Kaçel and Barbara Engelbach, and organised in collaboration with the DOMiD.
Among the exhibits are works by Chargesheimer, Candida Höfer and Ulrich Tillmann, taken from the museum’s own holdings. Curatorial consultation was provided by Manuel Gogos and Aurora Rodonò. ‘In Situ: Photo Stories on Migration’ is on show at the Museum Ludwig from June 19 to October 3, 2021.
