Czech artist Jakub Geltner keeps his eyes on the street with “Nests”, a series that features groups of surveillance cameras installed into urban and outdoor spaces in such a way that they blend into naturally into their environment. The project is Geltner’s way of denouncing the constant scrutiny under which citizens are put in the name of safety.

The growth process of a nest on the facades of buildings or in different urban spaces can be implemented as a congestion point or as a starting point of an infection.
