“Scopophilia” by Artist Sarah Muirhead

New work by artist Sarah Muirhead (previously featured here). “Scopophilia” offers is an exploration of the fetishization of professional extroverts — those who become the subjects/objects of our gaze. As she explains: “I want there to be a glimmer of the real person being objectified, idealised or fetishised. The representational side of the work should still be a kind of documentation of people under my spotlight.” See more images from the series below or on display at Leyden Gallery in London October 4 – November 4.
