Factory floors and sexual frustration: photographing the migrant worker’s life. “It is not men who migrate,” wrote John Berger in A Seventh Man, his provocative 1975 book on the condition of the migrant workers in Europe, “but machine minders, sweepers, diggers, cement mixers, cleaners, drillers etc. This is the significance of temporary migration. To rebecome a man (husband, father, citizen, patriot), a migrant has to return home. The home he left because it held no future for him.” This quote is the conceptual starting point for an intriguing new group show called Rebecoming at Flowers Gallery in east London, curated by Tim Clark, who edits the online magazine 1000 Words.
He has brought together four emerging artists (and the winners of the inaugural 1000 Words award) – Virgilio Ferreira, Lucy Levene, Henrik Malmström and Tereza Zelenkova – to tackle the subject of emigration.
