A newly commissioned video performance in the "Grand Stair".
Live and archived streams from CCTV cameras mounted on rooftops in Mumbai and Hong Kong are accompanied with live narration. The zoom as an un-human, continuous movement of curiosity and exploration of relations: between individuals and society, stones and the city, pixels and messages, raindrops and the climate, is the subject of this evening. Beyond its strange physical phenomenon, the zoom is a tool of abstract continuity that bends spacetime, pulling us into obsessive black holes and throwing us out into vast horizons.
Reclaiming the strange spectatorship of viewers who entered the 19th-century Camera Obscura rooms to see live views of their surroundings in today's time of real-time hyper surveillance, CAMP invites us to experience a contemporary form of Live Cinema.
