"ANKÜNDIGUNG: ARCHIVE OF UNSEEN EYES" Archiv Mitte. Exhibition

In 2026, Archive of Unseen Eyes begins. It is an artistic exhibition about hidden cameras in the city’s public spaces, about what observes without being seen, and about the concealed systems that transform everyday movements into images, data, and traces. The exhibition understands the archive not as a neutral collection, but as a site of tension between protection and control, memory and surveillance, public life and silent recording.

On view are photographic research, mapped locations, reconstructed lines of sight, collected rumours, speculative documents, and installation works that engage with the city’s invisible apparatuses. Archive of Unseen Eyes asks how behaviour changes when observation is possible everywhere, yet rarely fully visible. It is concerned with façades, entrances, crossroads, shops, squares, and passages, but also with power, habit, and the slow disappearance of anonymity in everyday life.
