Synopsis

For many years, the author has explored social relations and the polemics of contemporary life in urban society. This book centres around the author's interviews and photographic documentation made with people directly involved in their own environments. It examines the effects of the modernist built environment on people and how they express themselves creatively as individuals, looking at the inhabitants of particular housing estates, workers in an office, and a variety of different working and living environments. Photographs are combined with statements where the viewer is guided by the artist bringing out a network of references and infinite number of possible interpretations. Willat's humanistic approach should be of interest not only to artists and art students but also to architects, sociologists and cultural theorists.
