Michael Wolf "iseeyou"
Bruce Silverstein
This event has ended.
Encompassing four bodies of work—Transparent City, Architecture of Density, Tokyo Compression, and Street Views—iseeyou addresses the realities of 21st century metropolitan existence, one defined by constant access, vanishing privacy, and unlimited exposure.
By sampling images from Google’s Street Views, Wolf’s series becomes a postmodern departure from the 20th century definition of photography. Wolf creates his series from a subset of images made without human intervention, rather, by an automobile with nine mounted cameras capable of a 360° perspective, automatically recording without discrimination. Wolf’s Street View photographs are slightly unsettling in nature, and these images press us to consider what is left of our privacy in an era when many of our actions are publicly recorded, traced, and archived.
