New media art exhibition “welcome to the neighborhood”
“The Other's look makes me be beyond my being in this world and
puts me in the midst of the world which is at once this world and
beyond this world.” -Jean-Paul Sartre (1943)
Imagine someone staring at you through the keyhole of a door,
without you knowing. Behind that door is a spectacle to be seen, a
conversation to be heard.
In psychoanalysis, le regard or “the gaze,” is described as an
awareness of others or oneself. In the words of existentialist
philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, a self-reflective consciousness,
forced to recognize that it exists not only as its own gazing
outward, but also as an object in the world of others. Being aware
of itself, and in relation to others. In this case, you would be
aware of someone spying on you. Would this change your behavior?
Would you be interested in participating?
Voyeurism is an interesting activity; I believe in a way we are all
bound to engage one way or another. With social media platforms like
Douyin (抖音), TikTok, and Weibo (微博) we have access to
millions of stories at the palm of our hands. But before social
media and the world wide web, there were just windows. Windows upon
windows filling up the empty roads and lighting the night sky with
dimmed lights, whispers, and songs. Blinds and curtains to peek
through, a whole other world inside asking to be seen. Join us at
the island6 Arts Center and indulge in the secret Shanghai stories
being told by your neighbors. Let’s not forget curiosity is a
virtue, and a precious one.
Come join us from September 27th to December 27th, 2022. The show is
just about to start.
