Project Description
What if we knew when Google took our picture? This area will be photographed is a site-specific photographic action for public space. Handbills passed out in Union Square notify passersby that a high-resolution photo will be taken of the area at a specific time. The frame of the image is marked with bright orange tape on the ground. While mimicking surveillance methods, this action gives the public a chance to ‘get ready’ for its picture to be taken, which happens, almost invisibly, from five stories above.
