About League of the Empty Chair

LEC is a home for all those pics floating around the Flickrsphere of seemingly misplaced chairs.

We are not interested in just any photo of any chairs, but ones that are Empty and/or interestingly OUT OF PLACE.


A pic of an empty chair at a cafe doesn't necessarily fit the bill, that might just be a photo of a cafe not doing good business.

Chairs that are displayed outside because they are for sale don't belong in the League, either.



Hammocks aren't chairs. Neither are benches.Nor stools..Or sofas/settees/couches Masses of empty chairs (vacant conference room/stadium/etc) don't suit this group's goal.

Drawings, paintings, or collages of empty chairs aren't what we're after, either.

It should go without saying that it shouldn't have a pillow or a blanket or a dog in it... it should be empty!

The key is the emptiness/ unhomeliness/ unheimlichkeit/ lack of belonging/ uncanniness that the chair represents.

Please read the This Chair is NOT Empty and/or it isn't Even a Chair discussion thread if you aren't sure what fits with the LEC.
