Photography & photographs

Public, Private, Secret

explores the roles that photography and video play in the crafting

of identity, and the reconfiguration of social conventions that define our public

and private selves. Consciously framed by our present era, this collection of essays,

interviews, and reflections assesses how our image-making and consumption patterns

are embedded and implicated in a wider matrix of online behavior and social codes,

which in turn give images a life of their own. Within this context, our visual creations

and online activities blur and remove conventional delineations between public and

private (and sometimes secret) expression; in fact, they multiply and expand the

number of potential selves in the contemporary image-centric world. The writings

address the various disruptions, resistances, and subversions that artists propose to the

limited versions of race, gender, sexuality, and autonomy that populate mainstream

popular culture. In so doing, they anticipate a future for our image-world rich with

diversity and alterity, one that can be shaped and influenced by the agency of self- representation.
