About this artwork
This work combines the contemporary and historic, passive building protectors, both operating by myth that requires belief are morphed into a chimera, eerily embodying both worlds. The gargoyle was crafted to provide sanctuary to all souls who entered the premises of the building they were set to protect, warding off evil spirits from inhabiting their minds. The threat of evil here is the specter, and the person is the protected. The surveillance…
camera – and in this case a dummy camera – was crafted to provide protection to the property it was installed onto, warding off would-be criminals. However, this protection is at the expense of the person, and the building is protected. This warping of protected and protector is reflected in the realities of the Surveillance Capital reality we inhabit.
