‘Onan (Public/Private)’, 2013

ONAN (Public/Private) playfully investigates the fragile boundaries between what we define as private and what we perceive as public. The project questions not only these cultural and social constructs, but also the conventions of censorship that shape our ways of seeing.

The photographic installation operates through repetition and concealment, alternately revealing and hiding a series of documentary images of an exhibitionist. By doing so, it deliberately provokes in the viewer feelings of tension, curiosity, and voyeurism. The viewer becomes complicit, caught between fascination and discomfort, between the urge to look and the awareness of transgression.

Through this interplay of exposure and concealment, the work reflects on how visibility is negotiated in public space, and how desire, shame, and spectacle intersect in contemporary culture.

The work received the UniCredit Prague Photo Young Award for artists under 35 at Prague Photo Festival, 2013
