One for the collectors out there…
Dead Ends is a collaboration between Theo Simpson, Ben Mclaughlin and Tom Common. The series explores the issues of unemployment by collecting and documenting discarded job centre slips. The discarded slips recorded in the book were found in and around three Sheffield jobcentres, between August 2009 and March 2010. Many of the slips were discovered well away from the actual jobcentres, on various streets, down back alleys, in phone boxes and stuffed in salt bins. They have been collected and documented in their original state.
The book has been produced in an edition of 400 and is available to buy from the website for £6.

An honest look at the solitude and dissolution of unemployment, and the system put in place to render us productive. well constructed, beautifully concieved, an overall insightful and some what macabre look at what lurks at the bottom of our so called developed, culturaly astute, judicious society, nice one. Thanks
