Free | Lonely together, on a sunny afternoon #TheSilentRoom
June 1, 2019 | 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm EDT
FreeYou go to an event
You see people talk
You are not one of them
You grab a beer to look normal
You have a name tag on your t-shirt
You stand there and barely look around
You manage to leave without saying a word the whole night
You think of it as a way to stay connected with the world
Before you are back home, embracing pure loneliness again
Sometimes you wonder
Is it me, or the event?
It’s both and neither
——————————
Introducing
The Silent Room
Where people do anything but talk
People make eye contact
People stare at the wall
People sit on the floor
People get up to do squats
People chat on WeChat
People read e-books
People work on laptops
People throw away their phones
People pick them up again
People smile for the camera
People laugh out loud
People play air guitar
People play music
People paint
…
People do whatever they do when they are quiet and alone
Here with you
People
