| Description of Idea |
| This photograph was taken during Seattle's peace march of february 15 2003. It was an unintended, unexpected shot of the "other side" of that event. Those guys sitting in a bar during the march drew my attention, because of the way they were performing for me (flipping me off or mimiquing the peace sign), stemming from their assumptions on my role (a pacifist photographer) in that situation. This made me think that, whenever people go into the streets to protest, it would be just as important to document what is happening on the "margins" (on the other side) of that event. To me, people who are "almost" outside the event are the missing link between civic engagement and broader society. As a matter of fact, it looks like protesting has become a luxury, in which people who are left to the margins do not wish to partake. I want to represent and to see more representations of this space in between. |
