This is where people come and leave: leave wet towels on the bathroom floor, leave half-full beer bottles on the nightstand, leave the bed unmade, hair on the toilet seat, stains on the ceiling, glitter in the carpet, holes in the wall, leave their lives, a mess for the morning maid. And after an hour, a day, a month, they leave all that they have left. And you check in.
Lyndon Wade. 2009. Room 107: Twelves stories on the ground level.
Red Star Motel, a series of photographs is produced by a new Chinese magazine, O'zine, presenting different stories, including the topics of sex, murder, fake certificate, prostitution, drugs, kidnapping, etc., all of them happen in the same motel room. The same idea has been also used by American photographer Lyndon Wade with his project "Room 107" and Russian photographer Yaryshev Evgeny, "In Da Car." Those images are all good example to describe a simple space changed by living aura, experiencing different atmosphere and stories. During this week, I try to think about something related to the site in Soho. As one of the sites is in Regent Palace Hotel, the rooms in the hotel seems become an interesting object. People come. People go. After few minute cleaning, there are new customers come to the same room again and again. However, different people have various intentions to use the room. Because of this, different stories are happened and overlapped in the same room.
