How to be comfortable dining alone?
How to perform when no one's paying attention?
How to be normal?
How to have courage to enter a threshold filled with people seemingly regular and knowing each other?
How to be engaged in a conversation without pretending so?
How to be escape?
How to be find an empty table?
A moment captured from Eetcafé at Pakhuis de Zwijger in Amsterdam, The Netherlands during a study trip; here's where the 'runaway' concept was picked up from the lingering observation of occupation and behavior of customers within the atmospheric cafe.
Pakhuis de Zwijger is a renovated warehouse now housing creative events and lectures. Subject varies from global trends to the city and photography. After quick dinner of croquettes, we participated in the evening screening of Werner Herzog's Lo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected World. This was later followed by an open discussion/debate in English about the internet and its future.
