ZU IHRER EIGENEN SICHERHEIT SIND DIESE RÄUME VIDEOÜBERWACHT
Kunstraum Innsbruck 2000
Installation: Minimonitor, 2 minicams, microphon, monitor, photograph
At first the visitors discovered the monitor with its tiny 1.5 cm diagonal screen, showing a toilet of the gallery. A nearby small loudspeaker picked up the sound from this toilet. The visitors’ reactions to this surveillance was, in turn, recorded on camera and broadcast simultaneously to an out-of-the-way corner of the gallery and thus directly shown to other visitors. The view into the toilet turned out to be that of a photograph of the gallery’s toilet, a photo of which had been installed on the inside wall of the toilet. The original sounds (ventilation, flush) were then picked up and sent live to the miniature screen. Curated by Maia Damianovic
