Private (lat. privatus, privare, „set apart, separated, deprived“, privatum, „that which is one’s own“ and privus, „existing for oneself“).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

„Private“ usually belongs to a single person or a limited group who have an intimate or confidential relationship with each other. The root word is often combined with other terms to make it clear that it is not a public matter: privacy, private party, privatisation, private, privateness\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

„The only effective way to ensure the darkness of what must remain hidden from the light of publicity is private property, a place to which no one has access, and where one is at once safe and hidden.“<\/p>HANNAH ARENDT<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In this version, Hannah Arendt refers first and foremost to the protected space within one’s own four walls. This refuge was and is not always a matter of course: neither the caves of our hunting or gathering ancestors, the communal houses of today’s primitive peoples, nor the slums in numerous Third World countries allow sufficient privacy. Waking and sleeping, procreation and birth, eating, adolescence, illness and death take place in the presence of others. In this sense, privacy is a result of social progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the internet-driven modern age, the boundaries between the private and public spheres are once again becoming increasingly blurred. Work and family, thoughts and emotions, data and attitudes are no longer „just private“: posts of daily meals, intimate moments, selfies in every imaginable place or the permanent photograph of one’s own offspring are just the icy tips of self-portrayal on the internet. On the other hand, we agree to the processing of our data without even reading the sprawling texts of the terms and conditions \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But one’s privacy encompasses far more than just images on social networks or companies that do unimaginable things with our data sets. Privacy also exists in our thoughts, fears, expressions, representations, obfuscations and in every other area that is not directly accessible to the public. With their artworks, the artists in the anniversary exhibition provide an insight into the many facets of this highly topical subject. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
