This issue of Artlink approaches the curiosity of surveillance, scopophilia, and compulsive and clandestine looking. Artists, curators, writers and academics reveal the social implications of watching and the way watching is framed. From surreptitious encounters to self-exploitation, they uncover the uneasy questions about who is looking at whom for power or pleasure.
