I love love love these photos

Tadaaki Kuwayama has this red couch and photographed it all over the world. He has people sit in the couch and asks them a series of existential questions. The responses of all the participants emphasizes the bonds between all human beings and how much stronger they are than our differences.

I like his concept but I also think the photographs are extremely attractive…I am kind of doing the same thing with my marble piece, I’m installing it in different places and photographing it in the space and capturing how it changes the places perspective….

here are the list of questions that the people sitting in the couch are asked:

What makes life liveable for you?
What makes life unliveable for you?
What is your definition of happiness?
What is your definition of unhappiness?
What was the most interesting thing that ever happened to you?
What was the worst thing that ever happened to you?
What was the worst thing that you ever did?
What is your biggest fear?
What do you wish for most?
What or who would you most like to be?
What is your definition of work?
What does love mean to you? (Friends, family, same sex, opposite sex)
What kind of importance do you attach to other living beings?
What or who do you believe created the universe?
What is your expectation after death?

and here are the pictures
