Movie Audience Project by Jeff Wall (1979)
This project is relevant to my work because it relates to the topic I am aiming to address.
The photographs depict another form of absorption, the one referring to movies. When people watch a film, the process which takes place is similar to what happens when they are watching a live performance. I have reached the conclusion that there are various types of absorption, depending on what the viewer is watching. Another criteria by which absorption can be classified by the role one plays when attending a show. The person can either be the viewer or he/she may be the artist performing on stage. In the case of the artist, the process of absorption which takes place is different to the one developed by the public.
In the case of people watching a film, there is only one type of absorption to be discussed. That of the observer and not the observed.
