Peeping Toms



G: Passers by!
sy: Coming!
G: Where is the video camera?
sy: Here, here, you're laying on it!
G: Whops...
sy: ...
G: Ah. they're walking away...no, they're looking!
sy: Yeah, they are!
G: (filming)
sy: (staring)
G: (whispering) ...one is filming with a mobile phone...
sy: (whispering) Why are you whispering?
G: Don't move the curtain, they'll see you!
sy: Oh, they're going. Did they looked like they liked it?
G: ...
sy: Quiet again.
G: More people coming!
sy: Look! One saw it!
G: Yeah, but they are keeping on walking...
sy: Film it!
G: Naah, they won't stop. Trust me, I saw it several time: when they keep on walking they don't stop.
sy: (bemused) OK...but that guy is laughing.
G: Yeah, and now he's kissing his girlfriend. Another typical reaction.
sy: ???

Now, this isn't the newest antropological or social experiment: this is an ordinary evening since we started showing the video for the second Bay Window Project. We might well apply for a job as professional stalkers and start a whole new career.

Perhaps Kate Fox would be interested in hearing from us.
