EXPERIMENT
We are watched all the time. We are gradually turning into the very thing we oppose, criticize, fear and avoid. We are becoming the living eye and strength of the mechanism.
What happens if prisoners become the guards of their own imprisonment?
Four guinea-pig prisoners are locked in a cell and banned from speaking. Speaking is punished in different ways. Bodies that can’t speak move; movements become a game, the games a competition for power, the competition for power becomes violence, and violence bloodshed. A new set of guards has emerged in the cell.
