Our market is of impossible things. Staffs were selling experience while customers express their feeling in return. That is how the exchange system works. Each stall sought to create their own specific emotion as that is the goods they are selling.
There are three different stalls on the photo above, the gallary stall,the party stall and the play doh stall.
The gallery creates a quiet and peaceful space in the very beginning of the market while the party stall could be the most hilarious part of the whole market. Then the rest of stalls presents less and less active emotion camparing to the party one. That was an accident but this arrangement of stalls which forms an ongoing experience does smoothly connect stalls together.
As Dr Elizabeth Suda mentions that:
"The relationship between the subject and the photographer impacts on the meaning communicated in the image...While the subject has agency and communicates an image of him/ herself, the operator of the camera also has agency through the techniques employed with the camera and the context within which the image is created." The photo represents how the photographer thought the market is supposed to feel like. It suggests that the market offer elements to motivate customers.
