Concept from director Sophoie Hu:
The first idea of creating and directing a film using surveillance camera footage collected from all around the world was inspired by an architectural model, the “Panopticon”, an ancient surveillance system that was the most panoramic way to view a situation at the time. It also related to a personal experience of mine, from when I realized we are being monitored by CCTV systems at almost every second in England. When I visit public spaces, this almost-irresistible force was everywhere and this fact has driven me crazy, making me feel exposed. As a person who was born in the countryside of a small island, I don’t have and don’t really like the experiences of living my life sheltered under someone’s sight.
