These images, presented as a slide show, portray Turkish migrants who came to Germany during the post-war era, to become part of the labour force under the \u0026lsquo;\u003cem\u003eGastarbeiter\u003c/em\u003e\u0026rsquo; (guest worker) scheme. Taken mainly in H\u0026ouml;fer\u0026rsquo;s native Cologne, the images are intimate portraits of Turkish people undertaking their daily lives \u0026ndash;\u0026nbsp;at work, being together with family, their social habits and their leisure time. H\u0026ouml;fer states: \u0026ldquo;Being in their homes was not even mainly about photographing. They had questions to ask, stories to tell; they had forms that needed to be filled out. I felt their strong wish to be accepted, to become integrated, to belong\u0026rdquo;. \u003cem\u003eT\u0026uuml;rken in Deutschland 1979\u003c/em\u003e provides an insight into the migrant experience, and the desire to settle and assimilate. H\u0026ouml;fer had actively sought to challenge the perception of this minority population whose presence had divided public opinion. Around this time, H\u0026ouml;fer also produced works called \u003cem\u003eDiaserien\u003c/em\u003e (\u003cem\u003eSlide Series\u003c/em\u003e), which comprised sheets of slides printed together with information texts H\u0026ouml;fer had commissioned from sociologists. The intention was to provide educational material for people in schools and community centres about Turkish people, including their history, culture and life in Germany.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[]}
