Upended Working Women Portraits

Building Images by Isabelle Wenzel Explores Boredom in Offices

The Building Images portrait series revolves around some very awkward captures of working women. As though succumbing to the unnatural and life-sucking boredom that can only be experienced in a traditional office setting, the subjects in the Building Images series have buried their heads in incredibly creative and flexible ways.

Shot by photographer Isabelle Wenzel, the Building Images series have a gritty quality about it as though they are candid captures. Wenzel reveals, "I have never worked in an office and found it fascinating to see how functional and minimal the movements of people are in such a place. It made me wonder how long I could keep sitting still." Clearly, she didn't think she could sit still for that long.
