PRIVEE | delphinericher

With PRIVEE, the French artist Delphine Richer works on the topic of the video surveillance.

Her inspiration comes from her small French town where she noticed a significant increase in video surveillance.

In French, "PRIVEE" means "PRIVATE" like in "vie privée" (private life) and it also means "deprived" for a feminine subject.

This video is the final form of the artwork based on an action.

Excerpt from the interview for « Vogue+ China »:

"This time, for MIPAF*, my inspiration comes from my small French town where I have noticed a significant increase in video surveillance year after year. The signs informing passers-by of the presence of cameras originally used the expression "video surveillance". After a few years, these were corrected to announce "video protection". Today, they warn of a "video issuing of a fine".
