Bewerber - The Applicants by Jens Klein

A collection of works by German photographer Jens Klein.

The author, who was commissioned to create an image book by the German Student Mutual Aid Society "Evangelisches Studienwerk Villigst", first used the application forms sent by more than 8,000 scholarship winners since the 1950s, along with their analog passport photos. I decided to take a look. This book contains 176 photographs of scholarship applicants selected from application forms from 1950 to 2012. These photographs show how the medium of photography has changed over the years, from black and white to color, from analog to digital, from taking time and effort in a photo studio to quickly taking a photo with an ID camera. showing. In 2012, the institution introduced an online application process, ushering in the era of analog photography.
