  • Yana Ivantcheva

Documentary short

The film provides a compelling and creative account of the manner in which surveillance, including surveillance technologies, are complicit in our internalisation of gender norms. The film weaves together a performance of everyday life under surveillance, academic and artist narratives that explore the psychosocial meanings of surveillance. The film provides a rich multifaceted account of how surveillance impacts everyday life paying particular attention to our gendered and sexualised selves and as such makes an intriguing contribution to debates surrounding gender identity.
