Displayed for All to See

This week’s Lens-Artists challenge invites us to look at what’s On Display.  At this time of year, there are Christmas lights, tempting displays of food and ideas-for-presents in the shops.  But I decided to go down several different paths:  the workaday world of the security camera:

Staffing the security cameras at Leeds Recycling and Energy Recovery Facility.
Security cameras at a tunnel entrance: Docklands Light Railway, London. I quite like it that this phone image is a little muzzy.

Public service broadcasting in the form of a domestic tv, and a public screening of the Tour de Yorkshire in the village next door, in 2017.

Our French friend Francis watches a documentary about Yorkshire.

And finally – works displayed in an art gallery.  Let’s start at the London Mithraeum,

…then pop over to Tate Liverpool.

Yayoi Kusama: The Passing Winter, 2005
Jim Lambie: Zobop, 1999.
Billy Apple: relation of Aesthetic Choice to Life Activity (Function) of the Subject.

Before ending up at Salt’s Mill, Saltaire, to see the David Hockney exhibition, ‘Arrival of Spring‘.
