Recreation #4

I guess that my recreation is a recreation not so much of any one particular image, but of a concept. I took the idea of the surveillance image, or the idea of surveillance, security, and one-way observation in general.This is a photo taken through the peep-hole of my apartment door. When someone knocks on the door, it is the person inside, who can look out the hole and observe who is there, who has the power. There is anxiety on the part of the observed, since he or she probably knows that they are being observed. Yet there is also anxiety for the one answering the door, since they may not know who is standing there, but are still close in proximity to whoever is on the other side. Only an inch or so of wood stands between you and the person. It's a physical form of surveillance. I left the color cast as is, and allowed the camera to shake a bit, in order to add to the overall sense of anxiety.
