Vigilancia

Video installation for the “Störung festival” Barcelona

  "Vigilance" is a video installation that investigate the increasing surveillance that is forced upon citizens. We are getting used to been watch as it is done via mecanical devices and as it is present in all works of life. But what happens when this surveillance is made more obvious, how does it makes us feel? I explored this question by placing the audience in a comfortable but small and claustrophobic environment and projecting a video of an eye obviously watching, scruting, observing, vigilating the spectators.How do the participant feel then about being watch? although (s)he is just experiencing the idea of being watch and that in the street, cash point, buildings, etc... (s)he is being watch for real but more distantly doesn't (s)he feel more vulnerable in the installation? Doesn't (s)he feel their privacy violated in the simulation? Does (s)he feel more vulnerable next time they see a cctv camera?
