Voyeurism & Invasion of Privacy Photography Exhibit: Article

Tate Modern in display of voyeurism for photography curator's debut

Article: Voyeurism Exhibit? Invasion of Privacy?

Some are arguing that the Tate Modern in London should not be displaying the 13 rooms of photographs and video footage by well-known figures including Brassaï, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Lee Miller, Guy Bourdin, Nan Goldin and Robert Mapplethorpe. The images display both straight forward and hidden messages and visions of voyeurism, death and extremem privacy invasions. But there is a freedom that allows this... Right?

Take a look. pretty cool and interesting stuff. I love the risks these people are taking. love it...


A young man called Amos Gexella looks back towards safety while perched on the sixth-floor balcony of a building in downtown Johannesburg, 4 August 1975. An estimated 2,000 onlookers yelled: 'Jump! Jump!' Two hours later, Amos rolled off the parapet and fell to his death
