In this performative work, the artist will walk along 14th Street holding an enlarged seven-foot “no photos” symbol that implies a prohibition on photography, and questions the constant surveillance of public spaces. Shortt will invite pedestrians to have their photo taken with the sculpture, thereby subverting the act the sculpture denies. To complement this, Shortt will pass out buttons with the symbol to passersby, who will carry on the work’s meaning to other spaces.
