curated show of 40 artists to win a solo show and a documentary created

Wait
Watchers is a series of photographs where Morris-Cafiero reverses the
gaze of strangers reacting to her performing mundane tasks in public by
documenting their reactions to her with her camera. By placing her
camera out in public and aiming the camera at her, Morris-Cafiero does
things that everyone does in public: talk on the phone, eat a cup of
gelato, wait for a cab. But while doing these acts, Morris-Cafiero
records the unsolicited reaction of people who walk by and react by
sneering, laughing and gawking.
Haley
Morris-Cafiero is a photographer based in Memphis. She uses film and
digital rangefinders to capture her images. The unaltered images are
printed using digital processes. Haley received her MFA in Art from the
University of Arizona and her BFA in Ceramics and BA in Photography from
University of North Florida. She is currently an Associate Professor
and Head of the Photography Department at Memphis College of Art.
