Zusammenfassung

From the 1960s onwards, upon arriving in Germany, Austria, and other parts of Europe as so-called “guest workers,” migrants began to construct a new self-identity as city-dwellers and to represent that identity in photographs. In most cases they created a visual mise en scène, as well as a contrived memory, by photographing themselves in front of historic palaces, parks, and buildings and sending these carefully composed photos to their families back home. In the practice of taking snapshots, they invented a new aesthetic form of abstraction, namely the self-image, to represent their newly constructed self-identity in urban space.
