"Why are these People Smiling (at me)?"
Actually the inspiration for this series was a continuation of my
"Seeing Signs" Project. Standing in the midst of political posters
during a campaign here,
I sudenly thought once again about my
friend who suffered from Paranoid Schizophrenia. Before his sickness
became too advanced, he’d often draw my attention to signs that had
secret messages for him.
I wondered what he would have thought about all these faces
smiling at him.
And so arose the impulse to photograph these political posters
