This is another pop up social experiment that I conducted in the Clinton Hill area, Brooklyn. I wanted to highlight the theme of conversation and human connections.  Essentially, I created a tear-off flyer which had personal questions written on each paper slip. Viewers can tear off any paper slip and respond to the question via a voicemail. I shared my personal number on the back of each slip.

You can tell that over time people did make that first step by tearing out the prompts from the flyer,  however only two people ended up taking that courage and sending me a voicemail.  You can listen to them here. They were emotional and actually left me teary eyed, restoring my faith in humanity; the willingness to connect with people via sharing personal stories.



The tear-off flyers were posted at bus stops, train stations, poles and other publically accessible spots in the Clinton Hill area. The posters show over time how many people actually tore off a piece from the flyer.
