Peeping into a mirror-clad triangular prism, a surveillance camera observes images of its own species, while the kaleidoscopic reflections turn the devices into floral ornaments, referring to the ever-growing arrays of CCTV equipment in a tropical garden-city. A projection displays the camera’s live-feed, according to the choice of the spectator.
The work consists of a surveillance camera at the edge of a mirror-clad triangular prism. The camera observes images of its kind, while the kaleidoscopic effect inside the prism turns the technical equipment into floral ornaments.
