Response to "The Art of Peeping"

As an introvert, I find the idea of people spying on me through my window to be incredibly unsettling. I, like most people I know, enjoy my privacy and like it to be just that, private. I go about making moments intimate through multiple strategies, closing my blinds on the window, speaking quietly during conversations I don't want to be overheard, etc. I'm not a devious or shady person; I just like my privacy and chose to internalize things.

In terms of Arne Svenson, however, I actually can appreciate this. I know how his neighbors must have felt being "spied" on like that, but his intentions weren't perverse.  He just wanted to make art. I believe that people are most themselves in the privacy of their own homes, and that is true beauty. Something about realness and ordinary nature of a situation fascinates me. People are all so very different, and I'm interested in observing these quirks. Like Michael Wolf said, though I would not be comfortable being the subject matter, I support the process and the art.
