Peeping into a mirror-clad triangular prism, a surveillance camera observes images of its own species, while the kaleidoscopic reflections turn the devices into floral ornaments, referring to the ever-growing arrays of CCTV equipment in a tropical garden-city. A projection displays the camera’s live-feed, according to the choice of the spectator.
The work consists of a surveillance camera at the edge of a mirror-clad triangular prism. The camera observes images of its kind, while the kaleidoscopic effect inside the prism turns the technical equipment into floral ornaments. Users can interact and influence the flowerlike patterns which are projected through a live-stream of the camera.
