Privacy-Free Zone (2016*)
(2016)

Good, Morning Lugano ’sequel (PFZ, 2015*)

The Privacy-Free Zone (PFZ, 2016+) project has as its purpose the exploration of a paradox: how do the rights of privacy and freedom of artistic expression coexist in different countries? How does the right of privacy gives everyone the exclusive right on their own personal image and prevents third parties from representing it?
Human Rights Council resolution 19/6 guarantee the right to freedom of artistic expression and creation

Human Rights Council resolution 19/6 guarantee the right to freedom of artistic expression and creation, which here includes the right of the author to allow all people who wants participate at this project, to freely experience it through this joint practice, to have this right despite of the privacy. So then, in a physical space defined by a red circle, a #PrivacyFreeZone will be activated in an era that is dominated by easy pictures, where the ideas of privacy and being at the centre of attention often overlap, creating a short circuit.

Which is the physical space of an image?
From what are we protecting us?
From whom?

Anyone entering the red circle or taking a picture of someone who has entered it will be able to experience it. Thanks to the transitive relation of the artist, everybody is free to publish the shared pictures on social media (Instagram, twitter, google+, vine, youtube and others) with the hashtag #PrivacyFreeZone, participating actively to the constitution of this controversial media artwork. All the images and videos are gathered in a public recipient and available here.
