STARE is a video that consists entirely of visuals captured from wireless surveillance camera’s in Brussels. Made in 2010, in collaboration with the Human Rights League (LDH), the initial idea was to produce a visual document that would embed the debate about privacy sensitive images in existing situations. Often legal discourse is fed with imaginations of how technology works in the public realm. In reality available equipment and urban surroundings put constraints on how laws can be put into practice.
