In China, the objects used for sitting are as manifold as the occasions for sitting. They are not elegant, and not always comfortable. But neither are they massproduced items: they are individuals. Each chair and stool has its own character, is a companion, a bastard, or a venerable elder. Their occupants sit close to the floor, without the pressure of time, watching the world go by in self-observation. However, a photographer trying to document such as scene quickly becomes the focus of attention. People passing by wonder what is going on; the person on the chair is assuming a pose, though the intent was to catch him or her unawares. (Advertising text).
