Ai Weiwei turns the camera on collectors with an edition of sculptures in cut aluminium.
Surveillance and Weiwei have history. Drawing together personal experiences and societal shifts, he notes that security is often used as a guise for control and that, because of this, surveillance represents power.
To Be Looked At… takes the form of a bank of CCTV cameras, pointing in multiple directions for uninterrupted vision. The sculpture can be mounted on a wall or displayed on a horizontal surface.
Installed in homes around the world, the cameras and their pseudo-surveillance capture Weiwei’s wry humour. At the same time, they encapsulate an experience that has become an inescapable part of being alive.
