I actually read this article the other day and found it to be really interesting.
I think it is interesting how art and privacy are walking a fine line here. A lot of street photography is a candid shot that often shows someone's face and they may never see that photo again. It is interesting that the idea of the public place and the private place is such a pivotal thing in art making. The fact that the artist invaded a private place makes me uncomfortable even though he is not revealing the true identity of the people. I think people's private lives should not be interrupted even if the work is not slanderous.
