Public, Private, Secret explores the roles that photography and
video play in the crafting of identity, and the reconfiguration of
social conventions that define our public and private selves.
Consciously framed by our present era, this collection of essays,
interviews, and reflections assesses how our image-making and
consumption patterns are embedded and implicated in a wider matrix
of online behavior and social codes, which in turn give images a
life of their own. Within this context, our visual creations and
online activities blur and remove conventional delineations between
public and private (and sometimes secret) expression; in fact, they
multiply and expand the number of potential selves in the
contemporary image-centric world. The writings address the various
disruptions, resistances, and subversions that artists propose to
the limited versions of race, gender, sexuality, and autonomy that
populate mainstream popular culture. In so doing, they anticipate a
future for our image-world rich with diversity and alterity, one
that can be shaped and influenced by the agency of self-
representation.
