Appropriation Art vs. Revenge Porn

Richard Prince's newest exhibition featuring works from different people's instagrams has sparked controversy as an image was used without one of the subject's consent. The key thing to note here is that the subject,  Ligon, "says that she is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and suffers from PTSD, and that her “sexy selfies” are a way of reclaiming her own sexualized image." Prince's use of her photos in this case is seen as a violation - this article is interesting in posing questions about digital culture and privacy.
