Overall, the public generally agrees that the phone hacking scandal that broke recently was overstepping the ever-fading line in the sand about what is deemed acceptable as far as privacy is concerned and so on and so forth.
Some argue that celebrities are in some ways public property due to the nature of what they do. I disagree. Someone needs to make the public feel just how ridiculous all of this cellulite-spotting really is.
Enter idea number seven….
You will need:
- Two photographers.
- Members of the public
- Guts, as you might be punched in the face.
The 1st photographer will approach random people in various places as if they were celebrities and just start clicking away in an unannounced frenzy. Close ups, “up-skirt” photos, pictures of their children – anything goes.
There will be different reactions to this. This is where the 2nd photographer comes into play. The 2nd photographer will be capturing the unfolding of the scene caused be the 1st photographer and his guerilla paparazzi assault on members of the public.
After the whole debacle, the subject of the photo ambush will be handed a card with a link to a website where he or she can then view the pictures taken. He/she will be asked to write a short bit about how this whole experience made them feel and if they think the way we treat celebrities for the sake of our own cheap entertainment is justified.
The photos of both photographers and the answers submitted by the subjects can form the basis of an exhibition to investigate our asphyxiation with celebrity.
Your thoughts?
