Voyeur – Caroline Tilney

Voyeur

Voyeur is an ongoing body of work inspired by Turn of the Century practices of “Voyeurism” and “Peeping Toms”. “The characteristic feature of a “Voyeur” is one that does not directly interact with the object of their voyeurism but instead observes the act from a distance by peeping through an opening or using an aid such as binoculars, mirrors etc.” Voyeurism may be tolerated or even appreciated if the people viewed are exhibitionists or are doing it for monetary gain. The attraction with curvaceous, scantily dressed women on post-cards and the images portrayed in old movies of suit clad men entering small cubicles to peep through a hole at women participating in various degrees of undress or at worse, still images simulating the erotic, have always interested and amused me.
