Shizuka Yokomizo
Stranger, 1999

From The Photograph as Contemporary Art by Charlotte Cotton: 

Yokomizo sent letters to the inhabitants of houses into which she could photograph from street level  She asked the strangers to stand in front of their windows at a certain time in the evening with the lights on and the curtains open.  The photographs show the people who followed the directions posed in anticipation of being photographed by an unknown photographer.
