Ten surveillance cameras, after being enlarged 27 times, are fixed upon a special support, resembling a tree, bent under overload. The lights flash every 15 secondes, imitating cctv equipment in public area, which functions as implication of surveillance being operated. Sustaining an invisible and yet overwhelming existence, surveillance is both evaded from and confronted with. Enlarged monitoring system and its distorted configuration prompt amplified visual effects. All over the world, people are uniformly surveilled and compelled to sell their privacy for existence of the system. Such unconscious behaviour, nevertheless, is standing over the edge of collapse.
