[ DESCRIPTION ]
A released print collection featuring a surveillance camera operator watching a girl skip rope, among other iconic stencil images.
[ CRITICAL ANALYSIS ]
The title — lifted from security threat language — frames everyday citizens as objects of state suspicion. The juxtaposition of surveillance infrastructure with childhood innocence raises questions about the normalisation of the surveillance state.
