In the contemporary digital landscape, surveillance operates as an omnipresent mechanism of control, seamlessly embedded in both physical and virtual environments. This project examines the relationship between surveillance and power, focusing on China and London—two of the most heavily monitored urban spaces globally. Informed by Foucauldian notions of the panopticon, it interrogates the psychological impact of perpetual observation. Treating surveillance cameras as faceless observers, this ongoing photographic archive documents these devices across multiple cities, reflecting on their pervasive presence and influence on urban life.
