Un-Privileged Views
The public images of cities tend to be defined by the iconic photographs with which their buildings, neighborhoods, skylines and vistas are represented, even though the views portrayed in these stereotypical images are frequently at odds with the life of the city and the reality of what occurs in them. In this exhibit we are interested in collecting together “anti-iconic views,” both in terms of visual experience and political reality, of a broad selection of cities. The exhibit will promote unfamiliar views of familiar places in order to change how we think about and represent them, and look for ways to embody alternative viewpoints in the construction of images.
