Exposed

A slightly awkward start to the morning, but we did eventually get our tickets and make our way to the 4th floor of the Tate Modern to see Exposed - Voyeurism, Surveillance and the Camera.



This exhibition was absolutely fascinating, it attempted to unravel our relationship our relationships with cameras. The first room disaplayed large modern photos of people caught unawares in New York by Philip-Lorca diCorcia alongside tiny old photographs from Horace Engle, who captured his subjects sitting on the trams during the late 1800s at a time when unposed scenes were far from the norm.

I also loved the photos taken through windows, the photographer wrote to the participants and asked them to appear at their window at a certain time on a certain day if they agreed to take part in the project.
