The public sphere viewed as a place of risk. Surveillance cameras and the idea of preventive security dictate behavior and (self-)perception – potential enemies are everywhere. Michael Palm studies how visual perception in criminology, medicine, and day-to-day life has become increasingly technological. Together with expert off-camera analyses, Palm assembles black-and-white Super 8 images. Low Definition Control is somewhere between science and fiction; the public sphere becomes a dystopian crime scene – with no space for the presumption of innocence.
