Watching people.

We have a new brief!
To make a Zine, I'm really looking forward to get stuck into this one, probably due to the fact that we can base it on anything... it is a fan-zine after all.
So People watching, observation, I would say I'm quite an observational person, I like to watch people I also pick up on things that other people didn't see, I listen to far too many conversations that I really shouldn't, my friends think im staring, but i don't think it's staring in till the person you are observing catches you and you still don't look away.
So as research I turn to trusty google... you know just as a starting point and came across this video, well the title gives it away but it isn't disgusting as such I find it more interesting, maybe you do, maybe you don't? but you won't know unless you watch.
heres a little background info for you.

Last year, photographer Robbie Cooper made waves by filming and photographing kids playing video games, catching moments of joy, exhilaration and despair. Now, he's capturing similar sentiments from men and women watching porn. The project, commissioned by Wallpaper*, 'throws up any number of questions about voyeurism and exhibitionism and makes clear the incredible nakedness of the solo sex act,' says the magazine.

Watching People Watching Porn.



So if you did get through it, what did you think?
and if you didn't get through it why not?
I hope it broadens the mind.

Have a good night!

  1. interesting...i'm sorry but I did laugh when it showed them watching the porn, the faces were just so funny!
    also, I wonder if their reactions were affected at all by the fact that they *knew* they were being watched, watching porn.
