Abstract

This paper explores the gender dynamics inherent in the act of capturing women’s bodies in public bathrooms, alongside an examination of the various gazes involved in the act of “seeing,” including surveillance and voyeurism. Focusing on the context of women’s public bathrooms in South Korea, the study specifically addresses the alarming prevalence of hidden cameras and police CCTV systems. The research begins with an analysis of an art installation by a German-Italian artist, Monica Bonvicini, who gives a conceptual framework to observe the (il)legitimate surveilling gazes present in public spaces. Through a multidisciplinary approach, this study aims to unravel the complex web of (il)legitimate gaze, shedding light on the implications for privacy, gender dynamics, and societal norms.
