Office Life

Already tackled by Lee Friedlander’ photographs “At Work” , this serie takes a step further in the banal landscape of the office life. Florian van Roekel’ “How Terry Likes his coffee” documents not only workers and office buildings but also ground plans which are used to separate chapters, doodles, ankle shots of the almost alive suit jackets, and endless meetings in-between moments immersing the viewer in the details of that world. Backgrounds often appear black, inviting the viewer to take a place and look at this stage where workers act as robots. Ranging from energetic and stressful ambition to comfortable dullness , van Roekel makes this banal environment much more abstract and deeper.
The use of diptychs emphasize the different experience of time inside this environment, as a lost gaze interacts with a hand playing with a pen and later hangs up the phone. Obscure images of hands, head shots and blowing leaves lit by harsh sunshine close this brilliant book.

Fear of fall series is also worth watching!
