Ever thought what it would be like to get a bird’s eye view of your home? The photographs of German artist Menno Aden take familiar domestic environments from the viewpoint of a camera that the artist installed on the ceiling of various rooms. The resulting images look a little bit like dolls’ houses, with carefully positioned objects creating just the right kind of balance and composition. There is even something a little voyeuristic in Aden’s photographs, despite the lack of human presence. As artist Miriam Nöske notes, ‘The notion of surveillance is systematically played out by the artist to hint at society’s voyeuristic urge that popular culture has made mainstream’.
