Exhibition Details
Over the last several decades, Gillian Wearing’s work has chronicled confessions, taboos, and voyeuristic inclinations. Her videos and photographs often confront separations between private and public realms.
Additional Details
Shot in a southeast London shopping mall, Dancing in Peckham depicts the artist freely dancing alone, without headphones and unaccompanied by music. Wearing’s camera also positions passersby as unwitting participants in the performance.
