Detailed Description

Waiting rooms have long been considered extremely uneventful spaces. Railway station waiting rooms, hospital waiting rooms, the room outside the dentist's, long queues outside banks or the bench at the barber's shop, the idea was to expand on the kind of conversations and incidents that take place in these spaces. I was also keen to experiment with what one could do in a confined space. How people behave and interact with each other changes when you change the setting. While I have always been eager to observe and document people, I wanted to focus on what others did when put in a waiting room.
