LYNN HERSHMAN LEESON: ARE OUR EYES TARGETS? is the first solo exhibition by the renowned artist and media pioneer in Düsseldorf, and the first presentation of Leeson’s work as part of the Julia Stoschek Collection.
Centered around the epic six-channel video installation, The Electronic Diaries of Lynn Hershman Leeson 1984–2019 (1984–2019), the exhibition examines constructs of truth through self-reflection and the mediated image. In addition, the exhibition brings together interactive and mixed-media installations as well as photo collages and videos that draw our awareness to the violence of our own gaze. What does it mean to look at something or someone and be watched in return?
