Dark Rooms by Nigel Shafran
Eighth photobook by British photographer Nigel Shafran.
Nigel Shafran’s new book takes five interconnected series of photographs and weaves them together with the common thread of domestic scenes. There is a constant sense of forward movement that is sometimes overt, as in the photographs of supermarket checkouts or underground escalators; sometimes implicit and more emotionally charged, as when the photographer faces the inventory of possessions in his mother’s last house. But in each case these photographs deal as much with what has been left behind as with what lies ahead. They carry the inevitability of change and the psychological undertow of time passing moving forward.
─The book unfolds unobtrusively, interspersing scenes of the artist's home at key points in these seemingly unconnected series of works. The book is a collection of five of Safran's unpublished series, but at the same time, it is a brilliantly edited new body of work.
