The work spotlights a niche, microscopic-scaled form of resistance in Russia, given that very few people ever see CCTV screens. But in Russia, political dissent is often treated with severity, and has ramped up since launching its full scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and the introduction of wartime censorship laws<\/a>. Meanwhile, according to Memorial<\/a>, a group founded by human rights lawyer Grigory Vaypan, there are over 680 political prisoners in Russia. And that\u2019s perhaps where the power lies, with the closed networks providing a low risk, difficult to trace canvas for rebellion.<\/p>\n

For Caviezel, photography\u2019s essence lies in being at the right place at the right time, a principle he describes while gesticulating with a pen in hand as if sketching the idea in the air. \u201cWith traditional photography, you must physically be in the right place with your camera at the right time,\u201d he says, his movements emphasising the thought. \u201cWith surveillance cameras, the same rule applies, but differently. You need to find the right camera at the right moment. Maybe a bird or a cat passes by.\u201d He pauses, letting the thought settle, before continuing. \u201cThis element of chance, it\u2019s fascinating. It\u2019s capturing moments you couldn\u2019t create or even imagine yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n

As resistance unfolds, it is Caviezel\u2019s voyeuristic all-seeing position in Putin\u2019s Jail<\/em> that makes the project such a moving, real time call to witness. \u201cI don\u2019t create the messages,\u201d he clarifies. \u201cI\u2019m just the platform. Without my archive, this activism might go unseen. But even so, I don\u2019t see myself as a political artist. My work isn\u2019t about pushing a message. It\u2019s about showing what\u2019s already there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
