The debut feature by Chinese artist Xu Bing, a Chinese artist known for his printmaking and installations, was made from 10,000 hours of public accessible surveillance camera recordings. He and his team then painstakingly edited the footage into an 81-minute melodrama, as told through overdubbed voices. In a nod to the 1998 satire 'The Truman Show', 'Dragonfly Eyes' demonstrates that constant surveillance is no longer the stuff of Hollywood fiction. Using footage of car crashes and suicides, Xu renders individual tragedies into banal spectacles, as superficial as the storylines on a reality TV show. Plot points are also provided by video chat rooms and plastic surgery – modern phenomena that underline the unbridgeable chasm between our private and public selves.
