traces of surveillance
Historically, privacy was almost implicit because the information was hard to find. But in our current digital world, sources of information are nearly always available. Control seems to be the key to getting access to this complex world of information. So, privacy becomes an anomaly.
Thomas Otto stages tools of surveillance which are normally only at the edge of our awareness - focusing on the fact that it is almost impossible to leave no traces, just like in the digital world.
