To Be is to Be Perceived

In conjunction with EXPOSED at the Tate Modern, To Be Is to Be Perceived explores the 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 means of creating an icon, and to reveal moments of privacy. Curated by Stuart Comer and Cristina Camara.
