Interaction
Obviously, interaction with others is a big part of being human. Without this interaction, we envision ourselves turning into characters similar to Tom Hanks in Castaway. Our fears of psychological breakdowns and talking to a volleyball, as well as our mental makeup as human beings, keep us grasping for the attention of other. Sometimes this too is detrimental to one's health.
What I've been questioning lately in my current body of work is whether or not these people are crazy. They are sitting in a given place, conversing and interacting as if others are there, and yet there is no one. Had these people been on the street I would definitely consider them crazy. But in the photograph, I'm finding that I replace the empty chairs and swing sets with other people. Frankly, I'm beginning to wonder exactly who would be the crazy one: The person talking nobody or the person that sees two people talking to each other.
