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.”
Photographer: Haley Morris-Cafiero

i wonder if the art in this picture is not about how people will stare and judge, but about how many people didn’t stare.
and how we’re all more likely to ignore the fact, displayed in the photos, that more people didn’t stare at all.

Why do sex experts always look fucking nuts?
TV ones are batshit weirdos who’ll make good on camera phrases like “He really needs to get in touch with his inner self”, I met one from my mums work (after prostates are removed there is often trouble with erections/sex drive) who was basically the meekest person ever until you got her on any sexual topic when she was clearly fascinated in the scientific theory of it. Least sexy sex chat ever.
idk. you fuck a lot. you get bored. you get old. and then you realize you fucked a lot and you have a lot to say about it.
i think the bigger question is what you expect them to look like lol, since you’re questioning how they look to begin with.
sorry for the repeat “did you know” reblogs, but i just had to say…this is what being latino is like. creativity and individuality are jokes in our culture.
i love my parents. i do. it’s funny because i can’t really articulate this in person to them, nor do i remember ever saying to anyone at all. so difficult it is to say it that i can’t bring myself to read the words on the screen, but, i really do love them.
i just hope, at some point, they realize my silence is just me being embarrassed by how much i care. and that i don’t think i can get the proper inflection or whatever in spanish. words are hard to get the emotion right in a language you’re less comfortable with. so imagine unveiling an uncomfortable emotion using an uncomfortable language. it sucks.
but it’s there. i’m glad i said it somewhere. i have an inkling this will boomerang back to me and that, by then, they will have heard about me saying it. they can neither read nor hear me say that i love them (they can’t read this level of english). they’ll just have to kinda understand it. feel it emanate.
that’s what family’s about though, isn’t it.
this is why it is important to eat domino’s pizza. or at least this is what i will be justifying domino’s pizza with.
Found this on the front page of Reddit.
