entry description
A story about family life in the large housing estate Steilshoop in Hamburg, Germany. Two and a half square kilometres in size, 19,500 inhabitants. Realized between 1969 and 1975 as a measure against the housing shortage. At the time seen as an ideal solution and social utopia, the social image of large housing estates has since changed in a predominantly negative way. Over a period of one and a half years, the photographers got to know families who call this housing estate their home. They sought closeness, questioned social ideas and took part in intimate everyday scenes. The pictures, in which the austere beauty of a dense architecture mixes with idyllic greenery, invite one to make one's own interpretations of life in the neighbourhood.about the photographer
