When Arne Svenson inherited a telephoto bird-watching lens, he began to record his neighbors in Manhattan, capturing them at unguarded times. Framed by their windows, the careful compositions show them taking naps, eating breakfast, talking on the phone. The series sparked controversy since its first exhibition in August 2013, echoing a general and acute anxiety over surveillance and privacy.
