Ben Alper & Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa: Hiding in Plain Sight (HaFI 012) public art changing everythingBen Alper and Stanley Wolukau Wanambwa present visual unknowns and forgotten gestures from the defunct archives of American mid century news photography. Carefully curated and collated, their iconographic essay, a Bilderatlas of sorts, explores in depth the notion of "hide," and of what forces normative relations to the visible serve to veil. How can, how should these images be looked at? And how do they unsettle the contemporary gaze?
