Surveillance Photobooth is an interactive installation that invites participants to be photographed by anonymous strangers. Cameras inside the wooden booth are operated from the table outside. Anyone may manipulate the cameras, but the subject inside will not know who is taking their pictures.

After all cameras have taken their photographs, a photostrip is printed for the subject on 80mm receipt paper.

Surveillance Photobooth experiments with the ideas of exhibitionism, authorship, and consent in the age of digital surveillance. Surveillance Photobooth was created for the MIX NYC 2025 Spring Exhibition hosted in collaboration with the Museum of Modern Art.
