This photo started an obsession for me - an obsession with Marina Abramovic's The Artist Is Present. Not a day has gone by in the past month that I haven't checked the flickr photos or googled Marina Abramovic's name.

I wish I could explain why I can stare at
these photos forever and never get bored. I've looked at this set probably 50 times already. I keep seeing new things, seeing patterns in people's visits, seeing repeat visitors I hadn't even noticed before. I don't know if I would have cared at all about this exhibition if it weren't for these photos. Now I'm starting to find sitters' blogs and getting sucked into
their stories.
Cool graphical analysis of the duration of sitters:

Its kind of frustrating too in that its like reading a really great book that either no one else has read or everyone thinks is terrible.
sigh.
