100% SECURITY

2013 | Plexiglas box and 100 crumbled colour photos (20 x 28 cm) | 50 x 24 x 12 cm

100% Security is a sculpture made of a Plexiglas box that is mounted on bracket arm in order to resemble a security camera. Kruithof filled the transparent box with 100 photographs of actual security cameras taken throughout the financial district of New York City. The pictures themselves were previously crumbled and are therefore secluded from any possibility to be looked at. With this sculpture Kruithof not only addresses the ever-present surveillance of post 9/11 New York City, but also comments on the increasingly unbalanced relationship between the public and the private realms of our contemporary society.
