"If This is Art?"

By -


 This series is by Haley Morris-Cafiero and is titled "Wait Watchers." I believe this series fits into the chapter "If This is Art?" because it embodies the idea of creating a "happening." In this series, Haley stands in public places all around the world and captures the gazes that fall upon her for simply just existing in a space. People tend to stare or look when she is doing mundane activities that do not render such an action. Haley views her work as somewhat of a social experiment, which is her take on a "happening."

Exercise: Two Dozen

       In terms of my images, they differ mostly due to one of the locations being interior and the second being exterior. There is a greater difference in the images at the second location, and I believe that to be the case because I was more interested in the lighting of that location therefore was more eager to find interesting lighting in a wider variety of subjects. I don't necessarily believe that the images became easier or harder to shoot, I think this exercise just caused me to shift what I was looking at during shooting.

      While my first set of images were taken in the city with lots of buildings on every corner, I feel that I did better in my second set which is taken in Cameron Park. I took more time to look for the right shots and really took the time to think about different perspectives. On my first set, I stood the entire time not changing my level. The second set, I remembered that I could bend my knees and get lower. I think this happened because there was not a lot going on in nature like there is in the city, so it pushed me to get different kinds of perspectives. I also think I was more relaxed on the second set and felt comfortable with the objective. The images got increasingly harder to shoot because I got all of the big central objects done first. I focused first on the most important visual aspects first. This led me to take more time for the little things that I might've  missed.
