Dear Stranger, by Shizuka Yokomizo

For this 1998-2000 series of portraits, photographer Shizuka Yokomizo left several anonymous letters on the doorsteps of random ground floor apartments that read:

“Dear Stranger,

I am an artist working on a photographic project which involves people I do not know…. I would like to take a photograph of you standing in your front room from the street in the evening.”

The letter specified a certain ten-minute period during which the artist would approach, take the picture, and slip back into the darkness. She would only reveal her identity once her subjects received a print and contact information (so that they could let her know if they objected to their portrait being exhibited).

Yokomizo made sure that when the photos were taken, the light would be too dark outside to see her — it would only allow her subjects to see their own reflections in the window they were looking out of.

did she do this in japan!

Marina Abramović - The Artist Is Present: This emotional exhibit, held in the Museum of Modern Art for three months in early spring 2010, featured Abramović sitting in a chair for the entirety of the day at the museum. Visitors were encouraged to sit silently across from the artist for a duration of their choosing, becoming participants in the artwork. Abramović, acting as an “emotional mirror” to the patrons, silently stared at them, often inducing deeply profound and heartbreaking reactions.

Why the fuck were people crying? I don’t get it…

I saw this and was so confused as to what was going on

No, no, I can jive this.

Very cool.

WORDS IN THE CITY

London-based Artist/Rogue urban poet, Robert Montgomery hijacks advertising space to put up these often thought-provoking statements. I love how his bio explains the intent…” they are intended to be encountered by commuters that don’t know they are art, and an attempt to describe in public space what it feels like to live now”.

…very Samo-esque.

I love this.

I’m not as big of a Pokémon fan as I was about 13 years ago, but I really love these colors. <3

Gotta love crossovers ^-^

Yay! Finally found some new wallpapers for my desktop! :3

Plunge, a project from artist Michael Pinsky, features blue LED lights placed around prominent central London monuments, with each light marking the sea level 1,000 years from now (92 feet above sea level using a “business as usual” scenario). Remember: this kind of rapid sea-level rise could happen sooner. We just don’t know.

Ah! This combines two things we really love: LED lights and our doom.

Well there’s a happy Monday to you!

Wait, Matilda THE MUSICAL?! ♥
