This series of photos illustrate how one may infer the content of the previous person differently and thus react accordingly.
This idea is banking on the fact that people do misinterpret, misunderstand and miscommunicate easily. This was proven when the next person I approached inferred the action of the previous person not as what the person intended, and thus pose for the next frame in ‘reaction’ to the previous person’s action. It is interesting to see how the context changes along the way. It would have been more fun if the photos continue a few more, but I could only afford 6 (just nice).
This is the project that I took the most pride in despite the challenges I faced. This is because I really love conceptual art especially those that are spontaneous and involves the public, and I can’t believe I get to experience a slight taste of it myself. Even though I felt awkward and weird to approach strangers and having to take up their time listening to me explaining my concept, there was satisfaction each time I did it. I even felt awkward for them having to freeze in their pose for my camera with people staring. However, the higher the difficulty, the greater was the satisfaction. Haha. And I was doing this all alone, going around and spotting cleaners, vendors, students doing sports etc.
