In conjunction with Exposed, this film programme explores ways in which artists have used the camera to draw attention to a society mediated by permanent observation. It looks at how the camera has been used as a weapon, as a tool to reveal moments of privacy, and as a means of creating cultural icons.
Featuring films by Samuel Beckett, Yoko Ono and Andy Warhol, plus the premiere of William Raban's About Now MMX, and work by Javier Aguirre, Peggy Ahwesh, Fikret Atay, Michel Auder, Bureau of Inverse Technology, Joan Colom, Harun Farocki, Coco Fusco, William E Jones, Helen Levitt, Chris Petit, Nicolas Provost and Julia Scher.
Curated by Cristina Cámara and Stuart Comer.
