This new Diane Arbus photo exhibition makes me wonder: what does it means to truly look at someone?

Four children stand outside in a field wearing eerie, homemade Halloween costumes, with two wearing paper bags over their heads and the others wearing grotesque-looking masks.

Right now, Berlin’s Gropius Bau is hosting the largest Diane Arbus exhibition ever held. Titled Diane Arbus: Konstellationen, it features 454 prints, many of them never displayed before, in a show that asks us to confront what it really means to look... and be looked at.

From children and circus performers to suburban families and drag queens, Arbus's portraits don’t just capture a subject; they hold a mirror up to anyone who meets her gaze.
