Eva and Franco Mattes
Italian-born duo in New York exploring privacy, transparency and voyeurism online
Biography
Eva and Franco Mattes were born in 1976 in Italy and live and work in New York. Their practice explores privacy, transparency, voyeurism and exhibitionism, with earlier projects including Life Sharing (2000 to 2003) and The Others (2011). Their work has been shown at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, the Mori Art Museum, the 20th Biennale of Sydney, the Whitechapel Gallery, MoMA PS1, the New Museum and the Venice Biennale. For Riccardo Uncut they offered to buy a stranger's phone for 1,000 dollars and presented its roughly 3,000 photos and videos from 2004 to 2017 as a chronological slideshow portrait of that person's life.
