a small work for photography-school I did a month ago. I haven't decided what I want it to be about, maybe I'll just leave it without description so that anybody can decide what it's about. the assignment was to do something with the topic of stolen pictures, however you interpret the term "stolen pictures".
what I basically did was setting up the camera in front of the laptop, disable my webcam, go to chatroulette.com and take pictures of the people on there and then develop the pictures and put them on a wall.
I don't know what it is what these people are looking for, but I'm sure they won't find it there. so in a way, for me, it is about people looking for
something, online, with the possibility of just pressing the next person button - defused social interaction.
on the other hand, I like the thought of it being a bit about the rising technologization of communication. if you want to interact with other people, all you have to do is start your computer and go online.
whatever, I like having picture of people from many places of the world, without them knowing that their picture now hangs on wall somewhere. they don't have the slightest clue whatsoever, all they did was go to some website in their spare time.
click on the picture for full size, nevermind the grain, it's from the camera I used to take this picture.
