While in peepshows naked or scantily clad persons can be observed for sexual stimulation in exchange for money, here we show you archaeological objects.
As a vending machine for sexual stimulation where middle-class men can secretly buy the commodity of women, the peepshow phenomenon was the subject of debate soon after the first establishment opened in Munich in 1976. The fact that women or couples put themselves on display while the customers remained invisible was received ambivalently, to say the least, and led to the legal opinion in Germany as early as 1982 that peep shows could no longer be licensed.
Today, peepshows in Germany are likely to be considered extinct due to legislation, and in Austria, too, the Internet is a competitor that is difficult to compete against.
In the archaeological peepshow there are relatively few naked bodies (parts) to be seen, the visitors are visible, the insertion of coins obsolete. The display behind a peephole, however, gives us the opportunity to bring small objects into focus.
