Chris Shaw a passé dix ans à travailler dans des hôtels de Londres, tout en utilisant son appareil photo pour documenter les spectacles humains inattendus des hôtels pendant les longues heures de travail.
Qu’il s’agisse de capturer des prostituées qui attendent entre deux clients, le personnel fatigué de l’hôtel, les clients ivres et débauchés, ou les détails de la grandeur passée et maintenant fanée des hôtels, les images de Chris Shaw capturent un lieu dans lequel peu de gens choisiraient de passer plus d’une nuit ; photos en n.b.
“I just took photographs to keep me awake. It became artless. The people I photographed, these episodes in the social fantastic would heighten and illuminate my whole night. The sum of the book is really a hotel of my own imagination. In my experience heaven and hell are places right here on earth, and you can stay in either one.” — Chris Shaw
Chris Shaw spent ten years working in London hotels, all the while using his camera to document the hotels’ unexpected human spectacles through the long hours of his shift. Whether capturing prostitutes waiting between Johns, weary hotel staff, the inebriated and profligate guests, or the details of the hotels’ faded grandeur, Shaw’s images capture a state of mind in which few people would choose to stay more than a night.
