Signed; Nick Waplington - Living Room - 2024

34 years after its original release, photographer Nick Waplington has taken it upon himself to republish his iconic and out-of-print book Living Room. Released under his own imprint, Jesus Blue, the new edition is faithful to the previous design but includes a completely different edition and several different photographs.

“Reacting to, as Nick Waplington says, “the grainy, downtrodden, black-and-white interpretation of working-class life” that one generally sees, Living Room offers lushly colored glimpses of community spirit, ignited by joys. , mishaps and adventures of family life. Over the course of four years, Nick Waplington got to know working-class families in Nottingham, England intimately. He spent countless hours becoming part of the bustling chaos of their lives, photographing them with sympathetic spontaneity. This young, award-winning photographer's first book, Living Room, makes viewers feel at home in his warm, cozy, and noisy world."
