intervention project

This intervention project in elephant castle will combine two concepts we study during this module:
-Drifting
-souveilance
By making a short film combining a drift under surveillance. When walking through elephant and castle I realize that my drifting was observe and map through CCTV camera where ever I go I would be recorded at a certain time of my journey, either at the beginning during or at the end. Therefore I have decided to map the CCTV I accounted on flickr and make a film (camera base) of my movement. The concept of intervention will be developed by trying to retrieve some CCTV image of me taking picture of the CCTV camera (gayle.dubois@southwark.gov.uk ) . I am planning to project them along with the film in the university space.

The third eye

Today I ve decide to go and take some picture of my brother Big. Started with a standard 55 mm camera after few shoot it become clear that I was not getting what I wanted. My desire was to take picture of the CCTV camera, nevertheless the battle was unbalance. The idea of having eyes watching me is so heavy and imposing that to compensate this effect I choose to use a telephoto lens accentuated the size of the CCTV camera. What strike me is their number and how adapted they are to their environment; different shapes, sizes, lenses depending on the purpose. The difficulty is to take picture in private area considering the discrete size of the telephoto lens, therfore I got kick out from the shopping for not having permission (understandable). On my journey back I try to hide from the CCTV camera feeling a bit like thief but when I think about it I am only retaking my image. However, I become conscious that they were no way to escape this third eye, everywhere I passed I was recorded up to 100 meter to my house.
The shape and technology use by the video is quite aesthetic similar to those robot design in science fiction film, cable coming in and out vein caring energy and citizen identity. 24 hours, 7\7 days a week hours of recording.

CCTV free zones

I would like to select an area of Elephant & Castle, create a map of the CCTV camera network and determine the CCTV camera zone free areas.

Elephant castle is one thing that we perhaps have in common; It is where you live, study, work or perhaps only pass through. However the Elephant castle we know today is changing like a partner we are graving old with; the outside will be different but it heart will stay the same. As a part an intervention project we would like to record those changes in a blogg: www.yourelephantstory.blogger.com
