Clare Gallagher signing copies of her new book The Second Shift in our photobook shop.
‘The Second Shift is the term given to the hidden shift of housework
and childcare primarily carried out by women on top of their paid
employment. It is physical, mental and emotional labour which demands
effort, skill and time but is unpaid, unaccounted for, unequally
distributed and largely unrecognised.
Hidden in plain sight and veiled by familiarity and insignificance,
the second shift is largely absent from photographs of home and
family. This work is an attempt to recognise the complexity and value
of this invisible work. It is a call for resistance to the capitalist,
patriarchal and aesthetic systems which ignore it.’ CG

Photography a Critical Introduction: Liz Wells
Surveying the spectrum of photography from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, Photography: A Critical Introduction is the first book to examine key debates in photographic theory and place them in their proper social and political contexts. While most histories of photography invariably focus on the works of the “great photographers,” this book is written especially to provide a coherent introduction to the nature of photographic seeing and its personal and cultural significance through history.
