For Sale/TVs From Craigslist


For Sale/TVs From Craigslist - by Penelope Umbrico

from the artist (Penelope Umbrico):

"For Sale / TVs From Craigslist, are images of the screens of TVs for sale I found on Craigslist. With hints of the seller’s interior space reflected in them, they offer inadvertent glimpses of intimacy and function as self-portraits of the sellers (the camera’s flash announcing the seller’s presence in the image)."

What a subversive image of space.

I think that's a brilliant observation. If only there was a way to get a glimpse of what each of those people watched on that TV... Now that would add an extra layer on top of your idea.
