'DINING ALONE In the Company of Solitude

I create 'staged realities' –cinematic worlds which replicate reality despite the fact that they are staged. In the series 'DINING ALONE: From Loneliness to Solitude' I share the concept of my project with people (some I know, others are strangers) and if they agree to participate, I make arrangements to photograph them in a specific restaurant location. I ask my subjects to act out their own behaviors and emotions based on their interpretation of the concept of my project.
