Project 4 : Waitresses
Whereas the Workers series refers to the past, the Waitresses are their counterpart, a kind of mirror of the workers...opposites in every way. These young women look at the future with a youthful, blank, and perhaps naive optimism, whereas the workers are old and hardened, and remember the past with a bitter pride. The Workers once had a clear future...promised by the workers paradisical socialist state of the former East Germany. This no longer exists for them, and the possibility that the Future now no longer exists at all is the space or void into which these waitresses find themselves staring.
