ANGST (FEAR)

With an ironic gesture, the artist exaggerates the control mania of a state power when she mounts twenty-five surveillance video cameras to spy on each other in the formation of the word ANGST (FEAR). Even if the state's purported reason for total surveillance in public areas is to protect citizens from possible attacks, another fear spreads in direct proportion to the increasing number of these "spying eyes" - the fear of a total police or surveillance state.
