Stolen Moments, a human webcam in New York. The process of getting used to being constantly watched and monitored by webcams, social networks and unscrupulous invaders of our privacy has certainly had an effect on our expressions and movements. Our everyday gestures have necessarily taken on an artificial quality due to the feeling of always being observed. In Stolen Moments, Yasmine Chatila uses the very same mechanism - a hidden camera stealing moments of private life within New York apartments - in order to subvert this process. Acting as a nocturnal human webcam, the photographer waited from strategic positions for the windows of New York City to become portrait frames, deprived of the rigid everyday burden of the "observed".
