This work challenges the growing complacency toward surveillance and our willingness to comply with perceived authority, even when it’s absurd or arbitrary. For this gallery opening in Shanghai, I hired security guards to monitor attendees alongside me. Together, we disrupted the social space with our positions as well as intrusive, nonsensical instructions—directing people to stand in specific places, halt conversations, or hand over personal items. The public followed without question, turning the gallery into a theater of submission.
