About us.

In a period that has witnessed a proliferation of surveillance cameras trained on citizens' every move, what is the place of independent photography and image-making of those same spaces? Is there a place for these and how free are photographers to document those spaces?

Please join our flickr group (linked on the right) and post photographs and words of your experiences as you pass through the spaces of surveillance that increasingly define the public sphere.

We also invite citizens of other surveillance societies around the world to post their images and observations of surveillance in their countries.

Shortly, we shall invite you to join us for a series of walks through urban areas in the UK where some of the highest concentrations of CCTV cameras are to be found. Along the way, we shall also invite you to document this newest feature of the urban cityscape in photographs, sound, and video, as well as the encounters that ensue from such a process of documentation.

We shall coordinate the UK photo-surveillance walks with those undertaken simultaneously by partner groups around the world.

The documentary record produced of the walks will complement its simultaneous recording by CCTV cameras and will constitute a citizens' reflection on life under surveillance in the 21st-century.
