„InterceptionExtended” (2008)

The surveillance camera, being used to monitor public space, was hijacked in a city of Ljubljana.
On location, where the CCTV camera had been disabled, the author left a mark- the word „Panopticon”,
which pointed to the meaning of the action. Camera and documentation of the intervention were exhibited in a Gallery in Ljubljana after the event.

The action was illegal.

"InterceptionExtended" is a continuation of “Interception I” and “Interception II” projects.
