The Toilets of Austin
Photographically I like to think in themes, prolonged themes. Whenever I see something interesting, I want to follow it over time and place. Once I saw an interesting trash can and since then I have been capturing trash cans all over the world. Toilets became a theme sometime ago. Public bathrooms became a place of art for me.
If Duchamp could mount a commode in a museum, who says I cannot mount a whole lot of them at TMN? What you are about to see is a sequence of 17 public bathrooms photographed around Austin, Texas, during one shitty winter day.
