The videos are made up of 3D scans created with photos the artist took in the Amsterdam office of the Dutch Immigration and Naturalisation Services (IND), and they offer a glitchy, uncanny representation of the office’s bright green waiting room. By taking 3D imaging tools and techniques—which are often used for surveillance purposes—and directing them back towards the authorities, the object of scrutiny shifts away from the figure of the immigrant. At the same time, attention is called to what is lost when spaces and individuals are translated into pure visual information.
