"18 Sang Yuan Street" (桑园街18号)

"You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur” -Margaret Atwood, The Robber Bride
"You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur” -Margaret Atwood, The Robber Bride
The voyeur stands behind windows, thoughtfully, discreetly peeking on the other side. What might lie across the road stimulates the voyeur’s curiosity. The thrill and excitement of secretly observing others without their knowledge separates the voyeur from others, he can never truly understand their experiences. 18 Sang Yuan Street is teeming with life, a concrete jungle mess of pedestrians, scooters, bikes, and cars. Like a generous buffet for the eyes, the voyeur cannot help but take a bite. And who is to blame really? Is it not the human condition to succumb to our earthly desires? Curiosity is a fundamental drive in human behavior. Our desire to know, to learn, to see. Sometimes we just have to take a glimpse, we are forced to open the box, pull back the curtains, peer through the keyhole. There are complexities to human behavior and yet it can also be so simple.
Do it. Take a look. You are your own voyeur.
Do it. Take a look. You are your own voyeur.
