Sylvia Schwenk - Preview of 'Under Surveillance'

This is a 20 second or so preview of 'Under Surveillance' an intervention masquerading as an everyday event in Martin Place, Sydney, which saw performers directed by Sylvia Schwenk, dressed as officials conducting surveillance. The performers photographed and filmed people in public to stimulate awareness of the level of surveillance our Society is subjected to, and to prompt thought about what the loss of privacy that accompanies this heightened scrutiny means.
