Voyeur (1999), a book about looking - an informal history of voyeurism from Edgar Degas to the pilgrims of cyber culture.
Voyeurism has been taboo territory, mostly forbidden for women because just like John Berger taught us: “Men look at women. Women watch themselves being looked at.”
Voyeur is the first book of its kind to pick up the dialogue with female pioneers of surveillance photography. The traditional violent allegorical positions of the female nude are replaced by behind-the-scenes fragility: suggestive stolen glances, money changing hands and promised kisses with as backdrop a neoliberal world where trade is king.
