Through the construction of devices for viewing is ironically caused a violation of one’s most intimate security on which all of us depend, by symbolically violating the secure element represented by our homes. In the video I have monitored and included scenes of everyday life. A fixed video camera was mounted in front of a building and the loop editing of the film, will show a lapse of 24 hours. The video will be left without any sound. . The observer will find himself peeping at other people’s homes, enquiring about the interiors and deconsecrating its intimacy and the “expression of inner self” (Oliver Marc), peering and straining his imagination, without being able to perceive any voices or sounds, He will observe the space. In the video the viewer keeps a distance, a position of nonparticipatory observation, conducted and relegated to the “status”of voyeur.
