Things With a Future Tense IVY YEUNG YUK WAI
I first define “things with a future tense” as “things that I can predict their future”. Then, I started thinking of buildings that will be torn down. When I was about to collect photos, I saw this:
People left tones of comments and ‘likes’ on this photo. I realized couples are “things people keen to predict their future”. The prediction varies according to viewers’ cultural background, viewer’s relationship with them and viewer’s personal experience, regardless the ‘future’ the couples tend to portray in the image.
Then I redefine “things with a future tense” using couples as the subject. I invite different couples to be my subject, in their usually dating venue, when they are dating. I have no preference on their outfit and posture. I also collected the duration they have been together.
