It's a Man's World

Thought I’d take you on a tour of the inner sanctum, the private club, the world of men’s business where men do their business. The Men's Room.

Long thought of as the last and lost bastion of the masculine domain. Not only a private place to hide away and contemplate the state of the world, politics, environmental issues, pre-packaged Taco sauce. This special place for men also gives the opportunity to catch up on some reading, exchange a cordial word or two with a co-worker or acquaintence or straighten your tie and zip up before an important business meeting.

The antiquated, and oh so stylish, water closet lives on in a few relics of mid-20th Century architecture. Some have been ‘shamelessly’ modernised, some simply closed off to the general public awaiting renovation. Working in one such period building each week, I have the privilege of utilising and appreciating a true golden oldie from the sixties.

I cast my eyes, and lens, over the decaying and none too fragrant world of this Institutional Mens Public Lavatory. Take a deep breath, we’re going in.
