to quote some annoying britartist or other (can't remember which one) "Art is what artists do"
I like to think of art as a created or found object or experience designed to be thought provoking.
This certainly provokes thought.
actually, I find a lot of photographers who document the experience of their subjects a lot more interesting than a lot of other artists.
Did anyone see this photo exhibition a couple of months ago which was pictures of high school kids with either someone they hated or one of their friends? Part of the point of the exhibition was for the person looking to try and decide whether the two people were friends or enemies, both from the way they dressed and the body language captured in the picture.
The saddest of these was a kid who was photographed alone because the other person who was meant to be in the picture with him refused to.
