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
Project: Wait Watchers
Thought this was actually really cool and I’d share it with you guys! Takes a lot to get up there and do something like this. Love it!
this is such a fucking important project to me because i am constantly stared at in public in a negative way and turned into some disgusting object for the amusement of others and this is a peaceful way to confront those people
turning the spectators into the spectacle
why are people so shitty
Is is one of the most important and inherently critical and AWESOME art pieces I have seen in an INCREDBILY long time. mad props to Haley.

Black people in England and Wales are 7 times more likely to be stopped by police than white people. Asians are twice as likely. The vast majority are ordinary people guilty only of being the wrong color.
What are the stories behind the statistics?
Learn more about the human cost of stop and search.

“BUT WE DON’T HAVE THE SAME KIND OF RACISM IN OUR COUNTRY”
Bullshit. I’ve been to Europe. If they’re not fetishizing you they’re treating you like shit or like some temporary anomaly/problem that’ll eventually go away if they ignore you enough.

The only things this world likes about Black people:
- our music
- our food
- our languages and ways of expression
- our style
- our skin (they wanna skin us like we’re a race of dalmatians and wear our coats for the winter so “smooth” and “shiny”)
But when it comes to Black PEOPLE as PEOPLE?
*crickets*
I’m sayin doe.
It’s never “I love the connections I get when I talk to Black people about themselves and their culture.”
It’s like we’re fuckin fast food.
We’re to be commodified and thrown away when they feel like it.
