Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Lunch Break engages a history of photographic meditations on the worker by figures such Eugene Atget, August Sander, and Lewis Hine, but despite first appearances there is nothing anachronistic or quaint about the renderings.... When subtle details coalesce, Lockhart's view onto the workers' lunch break ultimately suggests more than simply a moment of respite from a day's work; it reveals a pause taken from the immense mechanization of war to reclaim a modest sense of self-possession by partaking in simple comforts." (Artforum)"

Reseña del editor:

This book evolved from an archive of images collected by artist Sharon Lockhart while researching her project Lunch Break - a series of films and photographs she produced from a long-term collaboration with the workers of Bath Iron Works in Maine, whom she portrayed as they took their lunch break, a classic workday ritual. A companion volume to that project, this publication offers a stunning array of images drawn from a variety of sources, including WPA documentary photographs, Old Master oil paintings, contemporary art, and photographs by Lockhart herself. The result is a rich visual narrative that explores the pursuit of leisure in the context of work.
