About this work

This 2000 print titled *Surveillance* by Matthew Radford shows a city street crowd. It mimics the blurry, flickering look of a CCTV feed. The artist uses etching to copy that electronic feel with an old-school method. He turns a common sight—watching from above—into art. The print tricks your eye into seeing a video where there’s only ink on paper. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
