Surveillance Cameras as Unauthorial Filmmakers
What would a film be if born from an eye without consciousness? It would not be the lucid, responsible work of an author or artist, guided by a sensitive hand and nourished by expertise. Yet such a film is precisely what a surveillance camera produces daily. The camera is a mechanical eye that records without intent, raising questions about authorship and the nature of cinema. The article, published in artpress on May 13, 2011, explores the transition from surveillance to fiction, examining how unmonitored footage challenges traditional notions of filmmaking.
