Seller's Description:
Very good. This is a classic of English photography that is unique in its highly subjective insider perspective. There are other photographers who have attempted to show working-class life in England, but the result is usually distant and intellectualized with a hint of social work. These images have the appearance of social intimacy and as a result the appearance of authenticity. As Avedon suggests in his introduction, Waplington would have a difficult time in achieving this level of emotional impact in his subsequent work. Ein etwas anderes Wohnzimmer...Ein beindruckender Bildband, der das Leben in den Englischen Arbeitervierteln gänzlich ungeschminkt zeigt. Hier prallt ungezügelte Lebenslust auf eine perspektivlose Gesellschaft am Rande von Arbeitslosigkeit und Verfall, Waplington Zeichnet hier liebevolles aber nie beschönigendes Bild seiner Familie. Zusammen mit dem Essay von Richard Avedon, ist dies eines der eindrucksvollsten Photoserien der 90er Jahre...Auch sehr zu empfehlen sei an dieser stelle "Ray's a Laugh" von Richard Billingham das "Gegenstück" zu dieser Veröffentlichung.

In reaction to--as Nick Waplington puts it--"the grainy, downtrodden, black-and-white interpretation of working-class life" one generally sees, "Living Room" offers lushly colored glimpses of the communal spirit, fired by the joys, mishaps, and adventures of family life. Over the course of four years, Nick Waplington ecame intimately acquainted with two large, working-class families who were living in municipally subsidized "council estates" in Nottingham, England. He spent countless hours becoming part of the boisterous chaos of their lives, photographig them with sympathetic spontaneity. This young, award-winning photographer's first book, "Living Room, " makes viewers thoroughly at home in its warm, welcoming, and outrageous world. --DJ.
