The 1980s weren’t that long ago, but visually much has changed. Martin Langer’s black-and-white photos illustrate everyday life from the early 1980s in the Ostwestfalen-Lippe region, focusing on the towns of Bielefeld, Detmold, Herford, Gütersloh and Paderborn. Also depicted are the forests and meadows in between, but Langer’s approach to his craft falls into the genre of street photography. So the stage is set for the day-to-day, complimented by subjects photographed at the sidelines of major local events.
