Group '0'

John Rush is a photographer living in and making work in Belfast Northern Ireland. After over fifteen years in Press Photography he embarked on the MA course at Newport as a means of beginning a journey towards new ways of seeing. His work entitled Group '0' examines the life of young people in low paid employment and contemplates the psychological mind set of his subjects as they battle monotony and face into an insecure and uncertain future. Made exclusively around break time when these young workers are temporarily freed from their labour John's observed portraits catch the fleeting moments when the mind seeks escape and solace far from the sometimes opressive environment of the workplace.
