New Work: Portrait of a Voyeur

Here’s a quick look at some new work of mine, it’s called “Portrait of a Voyeur” and is on display at the Poseurs show that opens tomorrow at USF in the Oliver Gallery.

It’s going to be kinda hard to tell what’s going on, as these aren’t the best images.. but here they are.

The first monitor (the one with the camera above it) has the video loop playing on it. The second monitor which is located on the other side of the gallery, has the image of the person watching the first screen. The exchange of the idea of voyeur and voyuee if you will.

So.. hopefully that gives you an idea of what’s going on.. Feel free to critique or comment in any way.. as always.

Portrait of a Voyeur

Portrait of a Voyeur is a commentary on surveillance and voyeurism. The installation consists of two television monitors on opposite sides of a room. One monitor plays a video sequence appropriated from the movie Sliver, which contains sensationalized surveillance footage. Above this monitor is a security camera, and then live footage is then displayed on the second monitor on the opposite side of the room. As the viewer is watching the surveillance footage they too are being watched. [November 2008]
