NO CONSENT
This lens-based art project explores the legal and ethical tension between an artist's freedom of expression and the public's right to privacy under UK GDPR. While there are exemptions for artists using images from a public space, the creator actively embraces the public's right to withdraw consent by implementing a unique form of self-censorship. This process removes all identifiable elements from the photograph, leaving only dramatic, hand-painted red censor strips and a caption; this deliberate act of art censorship transforms the work, using privacy law compliance as a core conceptual element to maintain control of the artwork's production.
There is a series of twelve images. Pigment Ink print with hand painted acrylic censor strips.
