Signed by Svenson to title-page. Signed first edition of this photobook exploring themes of voyeurism, domesticity, and urban loneliness by American photographer Arne Svenson (b. 1952); 42 color photographs, captured with a telephoto lens, of people glimpsed through the windows of the apartment building across from Svenson's TriBeca studio. A notorious body of work, which resulted in a legal case brought by a pair of his subjects, attempting to prevent Svenson from selling or displaying the photographs. Though Svenson won both that case and its subsequent appeal, the series continues to spark debate about the fine line between artistic freedom and privacy rights.
