In his series “Human Resources” Darin Mickey captures the world of corporate labor. Cold and still, the figures in Mickey’s photographs pose stoically as they engage in work that is neither glamorous or unconventional. In a premise that is ripe with the possibility for irony, Mickey maintains compassion and dignity in his photographs without censoring the absurd, often nonsensical realm of the corporate.
