Using the vehicle of suspicion to create a captive audience: the surveillance camera does not concern itself with the model citizen, but focuses on the model deviant. It is a pre-emptive technology, constantly scanning for the possible offender. To be seen or heard by the electronic eye, one must adopt the basis of the camera's visual code. Match the profile and become a suspect - which, in turn, creates a stage with a captive audience.

 8. ‘Bridge of Hesltatlon' I Gravlty Feed I 1997 I 5'

'Bridge of Hesitation' represents a direct confrontation between body and landscape where the protagonist is the place. The narrative unfolds as if recalled by the sites themselves. In their maniacal search they seem doomed to linger in shadowy presence between urban, industrial and residential zones. The transient 'spaces of Sydney's metropolitan landscape present a series of stages for the passage of this inconsequential trio of ghost-men whose images become fragments, glitches. Are they survivors of some holocaust? ln being last they are also first?
