“What Happens Next?”

Flickr blog shares the work of Brad Hammonds, lots of which is very cool.

Here’s what he’s doing:

The subject in these photos is typically himself suspended Matrix-like in space, meanwhile his face and/or body language remains placid or subdued as if he has no idea or are completely unaware of the dangers that lie ahead.

And here’s why he’s doing it:

“The idea is that I’m really trying to go somewhere with great force, but as you can see in this photo, there’s nowhere for this figure to actually go. I think it’s very easy for the viewer to look at the photo and see and ask themselves ‘How is this possible?’ But I want to take it further than that, and I want the viewer also to also ask themselves,“What happens next?” And for them to come up with their own endings.”

I don’t think there’s much that needs to be asked about how the above scenario would end, save perhaps for how much the ensuing medical bills would be.
