FACELESS uses CCTV images obtained under the terms of the UK Data Protection Act as ‘legal readymades’, as instructed by the artist’s MANIFESTO for CCTV Filmmakers . Legislation requires that the privacy of other persons be protected when data is released – for CCTV recordings, this is typically done by obscuring their faces – hence, the faceless world.

The work resists the sensational for the everyday and becomes all the more miraculous because of it. – Art Life
A novel way of avoiding the costs of creating a movie – by making her film entirely from images of real life captured by CCTV cameras. –  BBC NEWS
A wonderful metaphor for contemporary life: as we shuffle through cities each day, brushing up against fellow citizens, many of us feel simply faceless. – ThinkingShift
It dares its audience to question their own culpability in this all too real state of affairs. – The Guardian
Les règles du Manifesto for CCTV Filmmakers s’adressent à des cinéastes d’un nouveau genre qui ne tournent pas avec leur propre caméra mais utilisent les enregistrements des CCTV omniprésentes. – La Libération

public link: https://vimeo.com/luksch/vb

A ground-breaking hybrid radio – internet – feature documentary, this film tells the story of an Akha village headman, Abaw Buseuv, who goes on a journey from Thailand to China. He is accompanied by an Akha radio broadcaster and the filmmaker. Their aim is to attend the gathering of the Akha people and to transmit discussions about their situation and future of the Akha people to remote mountain villages. The 3 million Akha are an ethnic minority group scattered across the border regions of the five countries Thailan, Burma (Myanmar), China, Vietnam and Laos. The film was shot between 1997-2000, and released in 2003.
