These photographs were taken by Gillian Wearing. There is an odd context about her artwork. Her art takes on the role of revealing secrets to the public, disclosing emotional aspects you might not normally make available to a public audience. She has these people write down emotions they have or ideas they might be thinking right on the spot, without giving them time to think it over, as she claims thinking it over would ruin the originality of it. I think there is something real and honest about her work. Its very simple, yet beautiful in how it is effective, as there are intense social-political aspects to her photographs. Each picture is raw and edgy, unlike other photography peices ive seen. Spencer Tunic's work is very similar to Gillian Wearing's work in my opinion. He photographs large groups of naked people out in public areas. He takes something that is normally uncomforable, and exposes it to a public audience. This too is very raw and edgy, and it stands out from other works of art. Spencer Tunic also created these photographs to raise awareness about climate change. Because he is creating his work to support a cause, in my opinion makes it even more beautiful.
