What’s your view?

The overlooked perspective — wherever nature calls.

Every day, people step away for a moment and look at something. A mountain lake through an open privy door. A campsite at dusk. The edge of a trailhead, a rest-area lot, a roadside pull-off. A beach cabana, a festival porta-john, a ski-lodge landing, a hotel bathroom abroad, a train or boat head, a lavatory window at 36,000 feet. It is among the most widely shared vantage points in private life, and the least examined.

PoopView is a collection of those views — photographs of the scene in front of you, wherever you happen to be, accompanied by a single line. Nothing else. The work is ordinary, anonymous, and, we believe, quietly revealing.

How a work enters the collection

Photograph the view

The scene in front of you — a window, a door, a hillside, a bit of sky. The view only. Never the rest of the visit, and never a person in the frame.

Add a line

One sentence. Dry, fond, or simply exact. The caption is part of the work.

Enter the collection

When the gallery opens, accepted views will hang together as an ongoing, anonymous record of this shared vantage point.
