Wikileaks: A Love Story / Anna Ridler (GB)
This installation shows this collision of public and private that sits at the heart of the Wikileaks project. Stacks of printed paper – tens of thousands of emails and documents and photographs – show the macro political machinations that most people assume are being revealed by the database. However, when an iPad is placed above the top of the papers a hidden narrative is revealed to the viewer, a deeply personal love story of a couple who fell in love and then broke up, all found in the emails that were released as part of a data-dump, collapsing this collision of public and private.
