A PICTORIAL HISTORY OF THE EMPTY CHAIR
A PICTORIAL HISTORY OF THE EMPTY CHAIR is a book that deals with the subject of absence. Looking at an empty chair makes us wonder who could sit or who might be sitting there. Not knowing or seeing this makes us more curious and a photograph more exciting. Will the empty chair be able to carry the weight and who will be its new companion? Will we ever know?

I am not what I am.
I’m who I am.
I am free.
Off duty.
I will carry your weight,
but not on my thighs.
I don’t need much.
I don’t need warmth.
I just need room.
You can put me in the corner,
in the middle,
or on the side.
It doesn’t really matter.
I will be your companion.
I will hear all you’ve got to say.
And I will listen.
And I will be quiet.
I will be just there.
— The Empty Chair.
