Peeping On Tom

2023

This 1.5m tall house resembles the joint terraces that line the suburbs of London. The dominant white cube towers in the space, but rendered exclusively in white,emitting faint chatter and light, from a distyance it encourages an inquisitive approach. Its base sits at about waist height forcing you to bend at a 45 - 90 degree angle to peer into the illuminated windows.

Examining our voyeuristic behaviours. and when do they cross boundaries? From our love of cinema and the chance to live vicariously through someone else’s eyes, to more definitive lines in our societal attempts to draw up boundaries through law. I’ve set up a means for the user to examine their own compliancy in this grey space, making the viewer concious they are an observer, a voyeur, and the power that wields. How technology when introduced into these observer and observed power dynamics more often than not widens the gulf, putting the observed under a microscope.
