SurVeils, 1996

 Item — Box: 613
Identifier: CC-34670-36371
Scope and Contents

The author indicated that the "book" is a translucent envelope containing six "certificates" with texts addressing: Surveillance & Knowledge, Surveillance & Purity, Surveillance & Reciprocity, Surveillance & Glamour, and Surveillance & Absurdity. In between the certificates are the SurVeils - masks of onionskin paper with different life-sized images of closed eyes with little eye-holes: To hide your open eyes and aid in "surveilling your surveillors." To reinforce the deception, at the bottom of each veil is rubberstamped "my eyes are closed." Adhesive dots can be attached to the eyes. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
