Description:
In Berlin's Gropiusbau, I went to see an exhibition by performance artist Sophie Calle. It was quite interesting to find a large room full of facial photos of people who are using a cash / ATM machine while being unaware of the ATM security cameras taking their photo. Obviously, the artist got access to the CCTV system... so was it really "closed"?
Anyway, this is what the great exhibit is about:
Sophie Calle developed the Cash
Machine series in 1991 from
photographs stored in a
Minneapolis police station -from
shots taken every 20 seconds by a
security camera above a cash
point connected to the station.
Sophie Calle has extracted a
collection of eloquent sequences
that sensitively relate human
emotions and behaviour, from
hope to fear, disappointment, loss,
violence and joy.
