One of the most prominent members of the Young British Artists, Gillian Wearing often explores the difference between the private self and the public persona in her photographic works. For this series, Wearing asked people on the street to write on a cardboard sign what they were thinking at that moment and then photographed them, often revealing deeply personal truths.
