Scene and Unseen is a performance event that featured five actions over the course of one day- one action on each level of a downtown shopping mall in Montreal. Each action took place as a performance for a different surveillance camera located on each floor of the building. Audio speakers worn under my clothes played prerecorded soundscapes for each action. A booklet with maps of locations and times was distributed to various galleries and interested audience members prior to the event. Actions performed included: eating a gigantic plate of french fries in the food court to the sound of changing radio channels; feeding artificial birds to the sound of birds chirping; walking in silence towards collaborator and UK performance artist Helena Goldwater until our faces meet as if to kiss and; taking photographs of a surveillance camera as a tourist attraction to the sound of a motorized still camera.   A fifth and final action involved blowing soap bubbles at a surveillance camera located on the top floor at the mall. Extra bottles of liquid soap with bubble wands were made available to spectators to participate in blowing bubbles at the surveillance camera to the soundtrack of breaking glass. Many people joined in- filling the area around and on the camera with floating soap bubbles. After approximately twenty minutes, security guards arrived and notified the group that the activity was to stop. At that point I announced the performance was over. In a moment of synchronicity, an emergency alarm sounded throughout the mall.
