Thoughts & Memories of Being Watched by Tamar Charney: 22 North Gallery
Everyday surveillance has become so commonplace that it is hardly worth noticing…until you notice that everywhere you turn you are being watched. Photographer Tamar Charney turns her lens onto the cameras that watch us all as we go about our lives on sidewalks and streets, in restaurants and bars, at pools and beaches, and even in our loved ones’ homes. The exhibition documents these ubiquitous watchers, their beauty, and the unsettling existence of them and considers how they intersect with myth and the artist’s memories. The exhibition is open 3-5pm, Fri/Sat/Sun 6/28 through 7/27.
