Shroud by Hasan Elahi
Following a false tip to law enforcement in 2002, Hasan Elahi was subjected to months of intensive interrogation by the FBI before being released. From this experience, he conceived Tracking Transience – his very own self-surveillance website constantly tracking him in real-time. Now, you can view a site-specific installation, comprising thousands of images from the project that opened every aspect of his life to the public.
Shroud by Hasan Elahi is happening from 5 March to 3 May 2020 at Objectifs – Centre for Photography and Film, 155 Middle Rd, Singapore 188977. Admission is free.
