What does surveillance mean in the personal and everyday? As part of the larger project “Self-Surveillance,” this work takes the dual form of a sculptural family “photo album,” using super-8 film to sample fragments of text from the published work of close and distant family members; it also takes the form of an abstract model for a speculative surveillance technique, which foregrounds some of the deficiencies of mass surveillance as we know it: it is fragmented, subjective and opaque.
