Looking Outwards 02

Street Ghosts by Artist Paolo Cirio took photos of people found on Google Street View and posted at the same physical locations from where they were taken. Life-size posters were printed in color, cut along the outlines, and then affixed to the walls of public buildings at the precise spot where they appear in Google Street View. His project challenges our perception of privacy, consent, and the boundaries between digital and real-world spaces. By making these ghostly figures visible in the urban environment, Cirio forces us to confront the pervasive nature of surveillance and the erasure of personal identity in the digital age.
