The Office
in all its mundane glory
90s - 00s
by Steven Ahlgren
As many of us question the necessity of working from an office,
this photographic series – taken in the days before wifi and
iPhones – is a poignant reminder of how things once were.
Teetering stacks of paper, off-kilter filing cabinets, gum-white
computer monitors and the cold glow of the Xerox machine; what
were once essential tools now stand as whimsical relics to a former
life. The office holds bittersweet memories of kitchen small talk,
cheap coffee, awkward Christmas parties and promotions won
or lost. Capturing this corporate world with a tender yet satirical
eye, American photographer Steven Ahlgren’s nostalgic series
will resonate with anyone who has ever loved, hated or simply
endured office life
