Bathroomcam_02 is a video installation that uses surveillance camera footage of an empty bathroom space. Because no one comes in and use the bathroom during the shooting, it looks almost like a still image. The video is then displayed on a monitor. By holding back what the viewers wish to see and thus creating a disappointment, this work urges viewers to reflect on their own voyeuristic desire. On the other hand, it also lets us to pause and reconsider what it means to be private.
I intend to adapt the content of this video to bathrooms that are near the exhibition space whenever it travels.
