Peeping Tom (Der Spanner)

An Austrian mussel limestone sculpture , delicately etches the clandestine world of a peeping Tom. The sculptor's intention was to bring life to anonymity, creating a haunting narrative that challenges viewers to grapple with the uncomfortable nuances of voyeurism and his own nudity of the watcher himself. The coloured front wall mimics aged bricks, emphasizing the secrecy of the scene. This sculpture prompts contemplation on the ethical dimensions of observation and invites viewers to navigate the fine line between fascination and discomfort in the act of peering into the private realms of others, especially in the context of an art gallery. A liveable, almost comedian act of visual exchange between visitor and sculpture.
