A professor in college once told me that art's sole purpose should be to elicit emotion. That simple statement was the greatest thing I learned in my 6 years (yes 6 years and I am not a doctor) of higher education.
Lieko Shiga's work does exactly that it provokes an emotional response in the viewer whether it be positive or negative her work makes the viewer think and feel "something".
"Her photographs are mysterious, intimate and emotional. For her series Lilly she photographed the people living in her block in East London. She covered an outside wall completely with a black cloth and photographed the people in front of it."
