Under Observation

The invisible archive of the ordinary

Original title: Bajo Observación

Under Observation is a visual essay built from recordings captured by computer webcams in retail stores. As fragments of everyday passersby accumulate, a digital wall of surveillance emerges—silent, persistent, and strangely familiar. The work invites us to reflect on visibility, routine, and the subtle architectures of control within contemporary spaces.
