First edition, signed in Paris in 2017, by the author Dutch photographer and visual artist Esther Hovers. This photo book is about 'intelligent' surveillance systems; or facial recognition cameras. These are cameras that are said to be able to detect deviant behaviour within public spaces. The book - in leporello / accordion folded format - centres on the question of 'normal' behaviour. It aims to raise this question by basing the project on eight different "anomalies". These anomalies are signs in body language and movement that could indicate criminal intent. It is through these anomalies that the algorithms are built and cameras are able to detect deviant behaviour. The work consists of photographs and pattern drawings, forming an analysis of different settings in and around the business district of Brussels. At the time this book was named Best of 2017 by Photobookstore Magazine and was shortlisted for the Aperture Paris Photobook Award 2018.
