Esther Hovers (Dutch, b. 1991) is fascinated by the now almost ubiquitous presence of surveillance cameras. Struck by the ways in which cameras are increasingly making judgments about what constitutes normal behavior so she set out to produce a body of work—a series of staged "false positives"—that mimics and undermines the authority of the camera. Her work is included in the exhibition New Photography: Create, Collect, Compile.
