In a country where the appropriateness of CCTV is regularlycalled into question, an exhibition currently showing at the TateModern could interest many.

Exposed offers people in the capital for a London weekend getaway a fantasticopportunity to visit one of the city's most famous galleries andenjoy something a little different.

The exhibit looks at the world of surveillance and secretphotography in an age heavily dependent on such technologies aswell as others including mobile phones and the internet.

All of the photos used in the collection were taken without thepermission of the person in the shot, so there's a chance you mayeven see yourself.

Works used range from the 19th century to the present day andwere taken in a variety of means by a varied collection of people,from amateurs to professionals.

Central to the exhibition is the idea of whether voyeurism andsurveillance is for power, pleasure or purpose.
