Interactive installation, 2011
Camera, computer, projection or screen

A camera focussed on a public place frames in a red rectangle any moving person or object. The device is extremely sensitive and reacts to any movement: passers-by but also pigeons, plastic bags carried by the wind, light reflections, opening windows, etc. Using a CCTV system rendered absurd by the indiscriminate nature of the machine, the installation stages the fictionalisation of reality shared by the “surveillance society” and blockbuster films: law enforcement as a spectacle.

Usual Suspects was exhibited in 2011 for Hotspot, along with IRL (Contexts, Paris). It is also one of the works presented for Augmented Window exhibited at the Centre Pompidou in June 2011.
