Summary

"Work, work, work - no one understands work better than Lee Friedlander. Since the early 1960s he has been a tireless observer and chronicler of the world around him, his photographic work making him one of America's most influential photographers. His photographic descriptions of the world break apart our accepted visual relationships, showing us entirely unexpected scenes. Friedlander's photographs have given us back the mundane bits and pieces of our own lives in an entirely new order. In this collection of photographs we see the world of industrial work refracted through the Friedlander lens. Over a period of 16 years he did his own work amongst American workers in locations as diverse as factories, offices, telemarketing centers, and corporate offices. Some of his work gathered here was commissioned by curators, some by corporate CEOs, but all the images re-align the world of work for the rest of us, showing us relationships between objects, people, and places that would escape a less idiosyncratic observer"--Jacket.
