As surveillance, spectatorship, reality TV and ‘Facebook’ increasingly invade our space, restrictions as a photographer become more questioned and uncertain.
The Panopticon Project is an installation work that consists of hidden camera devices that capture video surveillance within the gallery space. Still images are created from the footage and are then projected on the night screen the following month.  The exhibition highlights the restraints and problematic nature of photography today.  What is allowed and what isn’t? What and whom can be photographed?  Indeed, how frequently are we photographed without our knowledge?  This project explores various interpretations of surveillance while questioning the ethics and legalities of this ever-expanding phenomenon.
