OFFICE / LA OFFICE / Lars Tunbjörk

スウェーデン人フォトグラファー、ラース・ツンビヨルク(Lars Tunbjörk)の作品集。本書は、2001年に刊行された作者の代表作『OFFICE』の新版に加えて、晩年に短期間で完成させた未刊行シリーズ『LA Office』との二冊組スリップケース入りの仕様で新たに刊行されたもの。5年間をかけてストックホルム、ニューヨーク、東京のオフィスを撮影した『OFFICE』は初版の刊行から20年以上を経過した関わらず、その鮮やかかつ批評的な洞察力は今現在も社会に見出すことができる不合理や過剰な凡庸さを描き出しています。

二冊組で構成された本書は、作者の近しい共同製作者であるデザイナー、アートディレクターであるグレーガー・ウルフ・ニルソン(Greger Ulf Nilsson)が装丁を手掛けており、2001年版を再構成し、未公開作品を収録した別冊とともに新たな視点を提示しています。

Tunbjörk's iconic 2001 photobook of corporate melancholy is re-published in a luxurious slipcased edition, alongside an exclusive, unreleased series.

Loose Joints is honoured to announce the posthumous re-publication of Office by legendary Swedish photographer Lars Tunbjörk, alongside the release of LA Office – an unpublished series completed shortly before his passing. Tunbjörk's iconic series from the turn of the 21st century delves into the bureaucracy, disorder, and mundanity of office culture with masochistic delight, capturing the soul-sapping environments of corporate spaces with unparalleled insight.

Over five years, Tunbjörk explored offices across Stockholm, New York, and Tokyo, photographing 'like an alien' in the soulless, banal uniformity of these workplaces. He sought to capture that lingering sadness in what he called "the most common – but closed and secretive – place in the Western world." While the winds of change may have transformed the grey dividers into WeWork couches or the clunky dialup PC into a sleek, pocketable touchscreen tablet, Tunbjörk's images capture a contingent sense of ennui and isolation still prescient in an era of bullshit jobs, quiet quitting and working from home.

This two-volume series is redesigned by Tunbjörk's close collaborator, graphic designer and art director Greger Ulf Nilsson. Nilsson reworks his original 2001 design of Office, presenting a fresh perspective alongside a separate book of unseen works in LA Office, both housed in a slipcase. The book is published in collaboration with Lars Tunbjörk Foundation.
