Woman Photographs Herself Receiving Strange Looks in Public
“I now reverse the gaze and record their reactions to me while I perform mundane tasks in public spaces. I seek out spaces that are visually interesting and geographically diverse. I try to place myself in compositions that contain feminine icons or advertisements. Otherwise, I position myself and the camera in a pool of people…and wait.
The images capture the gazer in a microsecond moment where they, for unknowable reasons, have a look on their face that questions my presence. Whether they are questioning my position in front of the lens or questioning my body size, the gazer appears to be visually troubled that I am in front of them.”
Thought this was actually really cool and I’d share it with you guys! Takes a lot to get up there and do something like this. Love it!
this is such a fucking important project to me because i am constantly stared at in public in a negative way and turned into some disgusting object for the amusement of others and this is a peaceful way to confront those people
turning the spectators into the spectacle
why are people so shitty
Is is one of the most important and inherently critical and AWESOME art pieces I have seen in an INCREDBILY long time. mad props to Haley.
Whilst it’s only inherently natural to be slightly bemused or taken a back by difference (although to be fair to her Haley isn’t, really), it’s an unavoidable gut response, but to outright stare with a look of disgust is disgraceful.
If you find yourself doing that, don’t. And if you don’t care, you’re a bad person and you should feel bad.
