Description:
‘(…) In this work, I have set the camera – not a hidden camera to spy but very obviously, so that a relationship can be found with the subjects – in such a position that it dominates the room. But not to dominate the subjects, more to give the camera an equality. So that as the subject become more familiar and comfortable with the camera, they become more intimate with it. (…)Thus you have the dichotomy of the camera affecting people’s behaviour and also the fact that as people get used to the presence of the camera, they accept it and develop a relationship with it.’
