"Seen/Unseen" Exhibition
NURTUREart
This event has ended.
Blurring lines between observer and observed, the eight provocative emerging artists in Seen | Unseen cross typically taboo lines by openly photographing strangers, directly challenging and mocking surveillance cameras, and willingly placing themselves in the role of the observed, and us in the role of observers. Images are reflected, complicated, and obscured. Installations reconstruct and appropriate in miniature the surveillance of our homes and property, exposing our phobias, and anxiously recontextualizing accepted security methods. Video works invert the supposed anonymity of large crowds and explore our culture's obsession with reality television. Seen | Unseen asks us to question our boundaries and consider the future of a culture increasingly consumed with the need to see and be seen.
