Private
Investigations is about living in the camera's gaze and about
transparencies: windows, lenses, invisible barriers, illusions
of privacy, illusions of information. Allyson Clay's video
camera explores our fascination with windows, and emphasizes
the thin veil between public and private. Merry Alpern takes
her hidden camera shopping, secretly recording her own fascination
with this urban activity, transgressing perhaps, but no more
or less than the ubiquitous store surveillance cameras. Jennifer
Bolande explores the city at night and the charged "live"
space of down time and dark shadows. Private obsessions -
public space.
