Joy.

This series was a visual diary documenting Joy's first visit to Amsterdam. She noticed that throughout the city many buildings had such large windows but no blinds were used, even late at night, allowing for a voyeuristic view into a variety of different households.

By naming the image by the day of the week, she really documents and objectifies. This is consistent with the images being a diary, however, for example, Fridays image could have been named 'Maggie at Dinner' which suggests an insider perspective. I could do this is my work by not using anything personal when naming images. Such as naming them by the dates they were taken or simply 'Flatmate'.
I found Joy on www.cargocollective.com and tried to contact her directly to gain more information about her images, (or even a surname) however my e-mails went unanswered so I was unable to find any context other than what was already given. However this has helped me read into her images better and in my own way.
