Abstract

This paper explores a long-standing interest I have in the idea of the crowd, both as a theoretical object and also as situations I have constructed and then documented as photographs. What a crowd is, what this social form represents, and the question of when a group of people can be said to have become a crowd, have been the guiding questions in the making of the works. In addition, this paper explores the invitation, as an offer to participate and also to view, as central to the photographic process. Leading to considerations of hospitality, strangerhood, and the social spaces housed within these photographic constructions.
