Phantasmagoria is a video installation that explores surveillance and spectacle through the act of walking. Since January 1st, 2024, footage has been captured daily by the Abbey Road Cam—a 24/7 webcam trained on the pedestrian crossing made famous 55 years ago by a Beatles album cover. Every day, pilgrims from all over the world follow in the band’s footsteps and pose for photographs. This cultural icon activates the cross-walk, transforming it into a stage for "live" performances—whether in the form of ordinary walking, staged re-enactments, or other improvised movements. Figures of pedestrians are extracted from the footage to create a body of work that illustrates the dynamic between voyeurism and exhibitionism, as well as the spectator’s fascination with the moving image.
