I saw this at one of the things for Vivid this year.
I’m fairly certain this is some kind of performance art, and I worry about the implications.
On one hand (especially based on the colouring of the thing) it could be read as the person underneath the party being pointlessly grumpy and they should just tolerate the noise of people enjoying themselves, because they’re enjoying themselves. That’s where I worry, as too often in life many people have to cede a chance at having some quiet and rest to people being really loud.
On the other hand, this could be read as the people partying being oblivious to those around them and their desire for rest.
Maybe the person below wasn’t invited and they’re annoyed because of that.
This is my submission into the three hundred-and-third Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. The theme for this one is “Connections“.
The host of the Lens-Artists challenges cycles weekly between the following people:
Donna is curating this one. Next week Ritva is curating.
I recommend participating in the challenges as they provide a fun way to interpret theme. If not participating, then at least you should still check out what others of the Lens-Artists community are submitting.
I hope you enjoy.

What a fantastic take on the theme! I loved the monochrome and the emotion shown in the photo.

Your take on the theme in a single photograph is fabulous. Not only are the people connected in the photo, but the audience can easily connect with either of the subjects, those at the party or the downstairs neighbor. Good work!
