Army base picture on display in London

The picture, taken by Jonathan Olley/Diemar/Noble Photography in 1999, is now part of an artistic showcase called: 'Exposed: Voyeurism, surveillance and the camera' and will move to America after the summer. The black and white snap depicts four army watchtowers at the County Londonderry base and was chosen to signify the UK's "obsession" with voyeurism, privacy laws, freedom of media, and surveillance. The Magilligan picture is included in 250 works by celebrated artists and photographers including Brassa's erotic Secret Paris of the 1930s images; Weegee's iconic photograph of Marilyn Monroe; and Nick Ut's reportage image of children escaping napalm attacks in the Vietnam War. Other renowned photographers represented in the show include Guy Bourdin, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Philip Lorca DiCorcia, Walker Evans, Robert Frank, Nan Goldin, Lee Miller, Helmut Newton and Man Ray. Pictures range from the late nineteenth century to present dayand are said to present a "shocking, illuminating and witty perspective" on iconic and taboo subjects. Much of Exposed focuses on surveillance, including works by both amateur and press photographers, and images produced using automatic technology such as CCTV. The issues raised are particularly relevant in the current climate, with topical debates raging around the rights and desires of individuals, terrorism and the increasing availability and use of surveillance. Exposed confronts these issues and their implications head-on. The exhibition will run at Tate Modern until October 3, 2010.
