  • "I'M KEEPING AN EYE ON YOU"


  • On a daily basis, we observe and are observed by others. Based upon these observations we make judgments and adjustments in our lives. Occasionally we are watched but such observations go unnoticed; sometimes we know someone is watching and, once in a while, we just 'have a feeling' that the walls have eyes. Consciously or subconsciously we choose to engage with a situation or, alternatively, to just observe from a distance.

    How we as individuals respond to these encounters shape society at large. If we choose to engage in open, positive approaches, trust in others can lead to social groups and tight-knit communities. But in a contemporary world where "fear of the other" runs rampant, such interactions often evoke mistrust, profiling and paranoia. Personal mistrust often evolves into institutional mistrust and vice versa. Power structures are no longer clear-cut, diminishing the control and order we have over our own lives.

    Through personal, established relationships, casual encounters, forced institutional interactions or contact from a safe distance, we often overstep our boundaries. Whether we are conscious or not of our boundary breaking, we are all guilty at one time or another of intruding into other people's lives and space. What may pass as uneventful for one individual may be the cause of great anxiety and fear for another. "I'm Keeping an Eye on You" explores the broad and lasting effects of our curiosity in and intrusions upon others.

    ARTISTS featured in "I'm Keeping an Eye on You" include:
    Mounira Al Solh, Rachel Garfield, Charlotte Ginsborg, Pia Greschner, Myung-Soo Kim, Yaron Lapid, Jeff Luckey, Johnna MacArthur, Michael Mohan, Corinna Schnitt.
