L.A. Office
註釋In 2002, while on commissions for 'The New York Times', Lars Tunbjörk photographed the corner of an office in Japan. He kept returning to this image, realizing that "although most people, at least in the west, spend the better part of their time in offices, nobody has ever really done a significant study of this environment." Tunbjörk later came across an unused office block in Los Angeles. The resulting series, titled 'L.A. Office', is completely devoid of human presence. Offering glimpses of the dated décor and furnishings of the office block, Tunbjörk's camera picks up the magenta hues on seemingly white walls and the oranges and greens reminiscent of a 1970s hallway. But the photographs steer away from humorous social comment on material banality. A haunting set of images where unused, purpose built objects have lost their function, Tunbjörk delves into the realms of ennui and isolation.
