Photobook: Newsstand
Newsstand, this independent little space in a public environment, makes me feel a sense of loneliness as an individual existing in society. When I walk around in Manhattan, I turn my camera towards the immigrants who work inside the newsstands. Most of them come from South Asia: Some are from Pakistan, and some are from India… Through the tiny window, I capture their emotions while they are working, and through conversations, they share their stories with me. Each newsstand has its own story. And the story is about people surviving in the city.
We are all so similar.
We are all living inside a newsstand.
报摊,这个在开放的公共环境中独立存在的小空间,带给了我一种在社会中作为个体的孤独感。当我在曼哈顿四处走动时,我将镜头对向在报摊里工作的移民者们。他们大多数来自于南亚:有些来自巴基斯坦,有些来自印度……通过那个小小的窗口,我捕捉到他们工作中的情绪。通过对话,他们与我分享他们的故事。每个报摊都有自己的故事。这个故事是关于人们在这里生存的故事。
我们如此相似。
我们都在小小的报摊里生存。
