Description
In 1986, the West German society was at its peak. Michael Kerstgens, then a student, received a scholarship to document leisure activities among his peers. His photographs capture the era's favorite pastimes, from sports and fitness to partying, outdoor swimming, and shopping. The decade of the '80s is often romanticized as a carefree time in West Germany. This book presents a unique perspective on that era, focusing on the everyday lives of those who lived through it. The photographs, taken by Michael Kerstgens, offer a glimpse into a society that was thriving and entertaining. For those who grew up in West Germany during this period, these images will be a nostalgic trip down memory lane. For others, they provide a fascinating insight into a bygone era.
