Portrait in the toilet

I am being filmed in the toilet. I stop finding peepholes or tiny cameras. Instead, I choose to hide my face.
This project is an accusation of spy cameras in the public toilet and an intervention on image exploitation. More than 6,000 cases of spycam porn have been reported yearly in South Korea. Fear and anxiety in the restroom become a normal thing and I realize myself picturing random pornographic sites with my picture.
Covering the body with a mosaics panel made of photos of body parts, a woman tries to protect herself while her image is already being distorted and processed.
