Cory Allen Contemporary Art (CACA) has announced that the recently leaked nude images of Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton will be the latest additions to Los Angeles artist XVALA's "Fear Google" campaign and will be on display to the public, unaltered, in the artist's upcoming show "No Delete" next month at CACA's The Showroom in Saint Petersburg, Fla.
"XVALA appropriating celebrity compromised images and the overall ‘Fear Google' campaign has helped strengthen the ongoing debate over privacy in the digital era," said publicist Cory Allen. "The commentary behind this show is a reflection of who we are today. We all become ‘users' and in the end, we become ‘used.'"
The leaked images will be printed on canvas, life-size and unaltered. The exhibit will be displaying the artist's seven-year collection of images found on Google of celebrities in their most vulnerable and private moments, that were comprised by either hackers or the paparazzi, including Britney Spears' shaved head portrait and the leaked naked images of Scarlett Johansson throughout the streets in Los Angeles with the "Fear Google" logo covering her intimate areas.
"In today's culture, everybody wants to know everything about everybody. An individual's privacy has become everyone else's business," said XVALA. "It has become cash for cache."
"No Delete" will open on Oct. 30.
