Evidence Locker
From Evidence Locker:
You can tell that surveillance really touches people by the number of artistic works focusing on surveillance. The latest I ran across is Evidence Locker by Jill Magid. Here is one description of the project:
Working with the Liverpool police surveillance department, known as City Watch, Magid used CCTV cameras around the city to create a compelling piece that works not only as a personal diary of her experience, but also as a portrait of the city. Over a period of 31 days, wearing a bright red trench coat and knee length boots, Magid was watched by the surveillance team. The resulting footage has been edited into a film.
Disturbingly Magid found herself the victim of a mugging, though luckily for her the level of surveillance ensured her 15-year-old attacker was swiftly caught. She didn’t press charges.
