Blindspot is an interactive film shot in the area of Leather Lane market in Clerkenwell, London. The viewer is taken to navigate through a network of street junctions at night following a woman's legs. She is running on her high-heels through the empty streets - seeking the pulse of the night. Surveillance cameras are operating in every corner. The static mechanical eye is watching her movements. She is caught on the chilling silence of low-res black and white.

This work intends to question whether the obsession for surveillance in modern times is protecting or threatening us. It is up to the viewer to reach his or her own conclusions.
