27 Van Mierisstraat
Suisse
2018
For two years, Jeanne Tullen lived in The Hague, in the Netherlands. Every single day, she shuts the door and curtains. She sits at the white table, and looks straight at the camera. She waits, without moving. Outside, in a street called Van Mierisstraat, there is a man and his dog. He is smoking a cigarette as his dog keeps pulling on the leash. The dog grunts, the man walks faster. They are crossing the street. Her eyes staring at the lens, she stays still. In the silence, she waits, her hand contracted on the shutter release. The smoke from the cigarette hurts her eyes. She presses the shutter. The man and his dog are gone. She stands up, walks to the camera, and reactivates it. Sitting at the white table, she starts waiting again.
