Beobachtung der Beobachtung: Unbestimmtheit (Observation of the Observation: Uncertainty) 1974
3 video cameras, 3 monitors
This immersive closed-circuit video installation art work allows the viewers to explore perception and self-perception from a third-person perspective. Three video monitors and cameras are altered and arranged in a circle, each faced toward the the centre of the room where the viewer is expected to stand. But once in the center, viewers find that while their image is always visible, they can see themselves only from behind. Thus while viewers are able to interface with the piece, and position their bodies in way that after their experience of it, they are always experiencing the piece as being observed and never as observer, creating a shift of perceptual expectation that is very unsetting. By making spectators the spectacles of their own gaze, Observation of the Observation: Uncertainty suggests that in surveillance society one is always being observed and that one's experience of reality is marked by pre-set patterns of seeing and being seen.
