Private Life documents the work of Frances Adair Mckenzie created during a four year Fonderie Darling artist residency and subsequent exhibition of the same name.
Tracing historical and artistic iterations of a co-evolution between body and device, the work examines ways of seeing, surveillance, and desire in relation to immersive perspectives, augmentation and topographic imaginaries.
