TheRightAngle(s)1

You spend so many nights in hotels; and, nevertheless,
you don't ever take a closer look at their corridors?
If you did, you might—sometimes—wonder:
"Where am I? In a hospital?? In a high-security prison???
Maybe even the one Dr. Hannibal Lecter was held in?"
It was, indeed, after re-viewing "The Silence of the Lambs"
that I decided to take this and several similar photographs
of hotel corridors all over the world...

Thanks, K, for your expression of sympathy! You seem to be the viewer I had in mind when deciding to shoot these corridor images... ;-)) db.

I'm glad, Traveller, you can relate to what I wrote and to the—as you call it—"emotional disquietness" such a space "can bring" if one takes a closer look at the "design"... Thanks for your friendly comment! ~ db.

Nice, you are seeing the truth of this...and every corridor might be every other corridor...but where? You have caught the truth of this dilemma, as a philosophical issue of design, but also the emotional disquietness this can bring. Best Wishes, Traveller
