the mob

Description

In our contemporary era, information is often fragmented and readily available, leading individuals to make swift conclusions based on a single layer of information. However, objects and concepts possess a multitude of facets and dimensions, and the “facts” we observe and interpret shapes our perception of "truth". When an individual becomes a part of a group, they may become susceptible to the group's preferred truth, and thus become a member of the mob.

Through photography, I directed and documented this phenomenon, designing a 10-meter-long book named the mob that symbolizes the force of group mentality through its hand-sewn red thread binding. The mirrors featured on the front and back covers pose a question to the reader: Do you truly possess independent thought, or are you merely a reflection of the group's beliefs?
