The Tate Modern ‘Exposed: Voyeurism, Surveillance and the Camera’ exhibition is a collection of over 250 pieces with the theme rooted deep in the idea of ‘photographer-as-voyeur.’
From Paris Hilton’s trip to prison to Weegee’s photo of Marilyn Monroe and the John F. Kennedy assassination, these photos capture what many may have not wanted to be caught on film. What’s interesting here is that due to the UK’s extremely high level of surveillance, the Tate Modern ‘Exposed’ exhibition hones in on how the camera and its infringement on privacy affects us all.
