Liisbeth Horn and Kärt Koppel and Anumai Raska and pleasure to be seen and desire for privacy.

When one walks across the stage whilst someone else is watching, it is theatre. When one walks across the stage whilst something is seeing (monitoring?) them, it could be performance art. Sitting on your couch, scratching on your crotch you can still be the main character. (We perform by just existing). ‘Just being’ can be enough content for a performance, but for that to happen, somebody has to curate an environment where that really is so. Tallinn Old Town is covered by cameras. Meaning, somebody has decided that whatever happens on the streets is in need of a viewer. (By just existing you are also an unwilling participant in a video performance). And well, also on the Internet.
