Privat/Privacy - Distanz 2012
Martina Weinhart (Editor, Curator), Max Hollein (Editor)
Privacy--today, that sometimes feels like a word from a different era. It seems hardly applicable at a time when people post everything on Facebook, from their current relationship status down to intimate pictures. Exhibitionism and voyeurism are the social strategies of our lives. Today's art uses photographs, Polaroids, cell phone pictures, films, objects, and installations to focus on domestic scenes and personal secrets. In the present book and the exhibition of the same title at the Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt, numerous contemporary artists explore the evanescence of the private sphere and the resulting public intimacy.
