As I notice, there are so many people smoke in New York, I also notice a cluster of people standing in front of the office building and enjoy that special moment. Because the law prohibited smoking indoors, all the smokers are forced to change their place to smoke. In my point of view, it is a very interesting urban phenomenon.
The reason is I kind of envy those smokers can enjoy his or her own moment and for me it is a time that I can share with them. I think I have a complex and contradictory emotion to that phenomenon. The reason is one of my relative die of the lung cancer. All of these complex emotions make me want to do this performance. The concept of the smoked cigarettes is origin from this. By doing this performance, I can join them and share that special moment with them. In the other way, I also remind them their unconscious addicted behavior.
