Well... That Escalated Quickly
There are no words to explain the eeriness of this art piece, see for yourself at this link. Yep, now that you have seen that (if you have not, stop here, click the link, and continue), you understand what I mean. This poor passerby now has the question of whether or not someone is actually taking their picture, and begin glancing around nervously for the photographer. Another reaction could be they storm off hoping to get away before a picture is actually taken. The last possibility I can think of is they call the police, and try to put an end to this work for a violation of privacy or feel they have been violated. There is no way to determine how much of this piece is true other than whoever reads it on the street will most likely be incredibly disturbed. Chances are, there is no photographer, but rather an individual who posted it in order to watch the readers reaction, get some laughs, or even just to ruin someones day. This is what I find so artistic about the piece (not the creepy factor of the dolls that could be made), the fact that there is so much room for interpretation of the reality of what happens after, if anything even happens after, and the various responses from the readers. This piece invokes a great disturbance from me, however it still got me engaged like a "good" piece of art should (in my opinion).
