VOYEUR
Kolly Gallery is excited to present AKACORLEONE’s new exhibition entitled Voyeur from May 24th – 29th 2021. The self-isolation created by the pandemic has inspired him to create this recent series. As the title suggests, the series depicts a perspective of a Voyeur. It is a voyeuristic approach applied on sequestered scenes of daily lives.
During this exceptional time when pandemic lockdowns and self-isolation were the norm, the worldwide population was forced to stay at home for long periods of time. This led to a burgeoning interest in the happenings behind the scenes. Through exceptional insights, such as business meetings and social media stories, the virtual public was invited into private spaces and homes, a voyeuristic society was created. Social distancing and self-isolation reinforced spending more time on social networks and the constant and obsessive urge to know other people’s location and actions, at times revealing the life of privacy that exists when no one is watching.
Each piece is a voyeuristic insight into a fleeting moment represented through a window or an outside view point. All the pieces create a certain atmosphere of privacy, looking at scenes that are not meant for the public.
