Program 4: Subject/Object

These works interrogate the complex and delicate issues surrounding representation and imaging, exploring self-disclosure, surveillance, objectification, subjectivity, and individual agency. Ranging from subversive documentary to explicit performance, they explore the possibilities and limits of representing both the self and the other, often overtly implicating both maker and viewer in the act of imaging.
