Living Room
€133.00
"Living Room," Nick Waplington's first book, is filled with ironic and clever color images of friends and neighbors of his grandparents in Nottingham, England. These photographs run counter to the typical depiction of blue collar Englanders, what Waplington has referred to as "the grainy, downtrodden, black-and-white interpretation of working-class life."
From Museum 52: "Waplington's photos here give a lovingly discordant view of a dysfunctional family, juxtaposing images of tenderness, depravity, happiness and aggression." Not only was this first book by Waplington published by the esteemed photobook publisher Aperture, the photographer was fortunate enough to have both legendary photographer Richard Avedon and noted writer on photography John Berger provide essays to accompany his images-an amazing achievement for a first publication.
