Nothing more, nothing less. It forces upon me a silent observance, a state of being in which, time and again, truth is revealed.”
The Waiting Room by Danish artist KROW is an intuitively guided study of religious and archetypical imagery and their unison with the physical world in which we parade. Like a fallen leaf tossed by the wind, KROW has spent the past three years imitating a ghost—floating quietly in the ancient spirit-kindling expanses of India and Sri Lanka. On the last leg of his journey he attended Maha Kumbh Mela, an event that occurs only once every twelve years, celebrating Jupiter’s revolution and the sites where the nectar of immortality was dropped by the Gods in a mythological past. It was the largest gathering of people on the planet, with over half a billion human beings gathered along the shore of the Ganges river.
The Waiting Room is a documentation of KROW’s encounters with the other in daily life, masterfully disguised but always near, hidden in plain sight yet unceasingly breathing down his neck. The series explores his own—and, by extension, the collective—human subconscious.

All good things are wild and free.
What's the point of pretending to know what we don't know?
Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty, the obedient must be slaves.
Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.
Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.
The question is not what you look at, but what you see.
We are constantly invited to be what we are.
The universe is wider than our views of it.
Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth.
Things do not change; we change.
Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify
