Created in 1987 this installation used close-circuit television with a two-channel pre-taped video. Viewers are taped as they enter the room then projected onto monitors as they watch political interviews. Here by showing the viewers themselves the artist engaged them in a direct way to the point of making them angry of shocked. In a way the privacy of the viewing experience is invaded and the viewer becomes the viewed.
