Named one of the most beautiful books of Austria 2014
In 2003, this artist launched a series examining human behavior through network cameras -- surveillance devices that take still images -- revealing the sometimes striking discrepancy between social pretense and social reality. This book documents the fourth installment, in which the lens was trained on a grand ball: two cameras moved continuously in a grid pattern, taking shots every three seconds. Arranged in a single sequence, ten thousand of these frames form a panorama recreating the entire space while capturing only fragments of events.
