Three surveillance cameras hang in the exhibition space, with two monitors set up like a surveillance station. The video feeds are actively processed live and a silhouette in the shape of a burqa is superimposed over those under surveillance with only the eyes visible through a transparent rectangle. The effect is the inverse of a black bar over the eyes to anonimyze someone and a commentary on racial profiling tactics used in video surveillance.
