[UA] Turnstiles

Mr. Sullivan's reasons behind his works.

I was tired of the conventions in which most photographs of people are
taken. And I was tired of the results that  often seem to pass for poetry. I
needed something to be objective : I wanted the context to be clearly
established . I  wanted play a role in the situation, but I wanted the
situation to take a photograph of itself for me . I would design the
scenarios in which this could happen, and then the situation could be
responsible for creating the picture. The poetry would be as much in the
design of that scenario as from any photograph that might come from it.
These situations would include me but I would disappear as any kind of
typical photographer. I would simply play a role in the  scenario. I would
become someone waiting for an elevator, a man reading the New Yorker waiting
for a friend to pass through the turnstile, or simply another tourist
watching someone having his or her portrait done. The situations were mapped
out, tests were made, and special clothing was worn. I became a spy for the
obvious.

And the turnstiles:

I am not sure how this fits in the OU, but it sure seems to . . .
