Shot with a wireless miniature camera, this film contrasts the intended use of the CCTV technology (the monitoring of space) with its creative re-purposing (the production of ‘expressive' shots). The surveillance of the artist in dehumanising overhead shots is juxtaposed with the artist's appropriation of the technology to create an abstract microscopic landscape. The overhead gaze of the CCTV camera obscures the signs of the artist's subjectivity (by concealing his face), and objectifies him as a result; the stop motion makes him robotic. In contrast, the expressionistic imagery supposedly embodies his personal vision. Of course, the distinction between the two types of footage becomes complicated through the film. The CCTV material has formal or aesthetic qualities of its own, and may be as expressive of the claustrophobia and isolation of the character as the microscopic imagery. The work contrasts the banality of everyday activity and the constraint of domestic space with the imaginative possibilities of creativity. The body of the protagonist, enclosed by furniture and limited to a few repetitive functional gestures in the CCTV footage, is able to transcend this physical state with the camera, which seems able to go anywhere and shoot at any angle.
