"Living Room" is a collection of works by Nick Waplington, a photographer born in Yemen and currently active in the United Kingdom and the United States. Waprinton has presented works from a wide range of perspectives, from social documentaries to collaborations with fashion designers and artists, self-published zines, and on-demand services. Since 2010, he has also focused on his activities as a painter, and continues to explore new artistic expressions with new ideas that are not bound by stereotypes. This book is the first book that is Waprinton's representative work. Since the latter half of the 1980s, the collapse of industry, the increase in unemployment, the decline of the local economy, etc. under the influence of the Thatcher administration, etc., are the works that capture the daily life of a "family" that depicts these realities. It is a masterpiece of a social documentary that appeals to the daily life of the working class who are forced to face the harsh reality while incorporating various meanings such as the happiness and abundance of ordinary everyday life, the despair of the future without prospects, and the economic hardships that lie behind the happiness of the heart.
