BODY IN SPACE

Coney Island – NYC

She’s tall enough for the ride!  According to someone, somewhere, she “fits” the amusement park ride.  It is interesting that there is not a height maximum, only the minimum, not to mention a maximum width.

Envee Salon – Astoria, Queens – NYC

Look comfortable?  The occupant is clearly happy under the heated dome.  I think the alcohol helps!  There is some bit of discomfort people are willing to endure for the reward of beauty.

Central Park – NYC

Feel small?  This monument is monumental! It may “fit” the context of the park but it definitely leaves the observer feeling small and insignificant.  Is this supposed to tell people that they are “beneath”, in more than the physical, the figure seated above them?

Seating at Priscilla: Queen of the Desert on Broadway, NYC.

The seats are positioned very close to one another.  Perhaps they were designed in a time when people were smaller or when producers cared more about how many bodies could fit rather than what was comfortable?

City Field – NYC – Baseball game

Here the seating is adequately sized and the aisle is wide enough to accommodate a large cross-section of people.  The sight lines allow for a comfortable view of the game.  Here, the fit was “like a glove”, no pun intended.
