Overwhelmed by the surveilance methods used by The Stasi (GDR, state security) to control the population and invade their privacy, we (a collective of 5 artists) took on the role of a spy for one day. Invited to do a project in public space in Leipzig we surveyed for one day four of our colleagues. With hidden cameras we collected photo, video and sound files as well as objects and notes about conversations. We collated this material into an archive, which was open for our 'victims' for one hour at the SED-Parteischule (Erfurt). They could then decide whether they wanted to show the collected material to the rest of the group.

Dieses Projekt nimmt am Bauhaus Essentials 2013 / GRAFE-Kreativpreis teil.
