There are many reasons for “The Unretired (Im UnRuhestand) – work after retirement age.” It can be because after a long working life the individual does not want to be inactive and “they don’t know what to do with themselves at home”, because they want to give something back to society or because they need an additional income. This project revolves around an interesting topic which will affect us all: How does a society develop when it has a constantly ageing population? The pictures will be taken with a large-format analogue camera.
