No Context Conversations

The famous Upper East Side is home to the hit TV show: Gossip Girl. As a Gossip Girl fan myself, I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Arts. My most recent trip to the MET had me overwhelmed. I didn't know where to start but I wanted to see so much. As I was wandering around, I stumbled upon the photography section of the museum. There, I found the most interesting exhibit (in my opinion). Artists were paired up and texted each other pictures about whatever they want without context. At the exhibit, you can see these conversations printed on the walls, through projectors and even bound like a book. It made me realize the cliche that "a picture is worth a thousand words" is true. These artists were able to show their everyday life just with pictures and no words. It leaves the other person on the receiving end to wonder: what's next? Whether it is about future, love, etc, always look forward to what will happen rather than looking at what already happened.
