テート・ギャラリーさんのインスタグラム写真 - (テート・ギャラリーInstagram)「#WorkofTheWeek looks a bit like a lockdown in the 80s, complete with heavily flowered wallpaper and patterned rugs. The photograph is from Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen's nostalgic series 'Byker', in which she captures the buildings, streets and inhabitants of Byker, in Newcastle. The series includes a range of portraits, from traditional studio-style images to photographs of groups gathered in moments of leisure, playing dominoes or standing around a pool table. 'I roamed around the streets by day and hung out by night: chasing my heartbeats and stumbling in and out of other people’s lives; striving to share my excitement through photographs where words would fail me. Being a foreigner to the city gave me one advantage: I could be nosy, and be forgiven. Many doors were opened for me that would have remained closed to another photographer, and invitations extended to the kind of hospitality and intimacy that would normally be reserved for family only.' - Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen When speaking of her sitters, Konttinen describes the residents of Byker in such a manner that highlights her attention to detail and warmth towards members of the community from different generations. She delighted in the eccentric qualities of both the individuals and their often heavily decorated dwellings. This particular image shows a younger woman, the 'Jena Barron' of the work's title, standing in the doorway of a room, in which her parents sit, her father in a deck chair and her mother in a leather easy chair.
