Publisher's Description:
Photographer Deirdre O’Callaghan has produced an unsettling but ultimately engaging document of the residents at Arlington House, Europe’s largest men’s refuge. Built in the early 20th century for intinerant Irish workers, many of the residents have been displaced from their home country and suffer from mental and physical disabilities, largely alcoholism. O’Callaghan’s work reveals the humour and companionship the men derive from their shared experience, both in the refuge and on their sponsored return trips to Ireland. ~This book won the ICP Infinity Award for best publication in 2003 and the Rencontres de la Photographie D’Arles award for best book. It was also included in the PDN Photography Annual 2003 in the best books category |
