Exposed: Voyeurism, Surveillance and the Camera

Explore the world of surveillance and secret photography at Tate Modern in London.

Exposed at Tate Modern

In an age of street surveillance, mobile phones and the internet, Exposed examines an art form that could be thought of as invasive.

The exhibition features a wide range of films and photos taken by unseen photographers without the permission of the subject.

You’ll see work by amateur photographers, press photographers and CCTV, from the late 19th century to the present day.

The Camera, Voyeurism and Surveillance

Exposed asks questions about the camera, voyeurism and surveillance, exploring who is looking at whom, and whether for power or pleasure.

Covering eroticism, celebrity and conflict, and looking at surveillance in the world around us, the show is both illuminating and provocative.

Exposed Exhibition Highlights

Exposed features 250 works, ranging from CCTV footage to work by well-known artists.

Highlights include:

• Brassaï’s Secret Paris of the 1930s
• Walker Evans’s subway portraits
• Weegee’s photos of Marilyn Monroe
