Title: Living Room
Description: [New York], Aperture, 1991. Hardcover. White, pink and green DJ under clear Brodart DJ, with black lettering; orange cloth over boards with silver lettering. 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.
