Richard Hamilton British Artist
Swingeing London 67
1969
Hamilton based this work on a photograph, appropriated from a newspaper, showing Mick Jagger handcuffed to the art dealer Robert Fraser. The photograph appeared following their appearance in court on drugs charges. Both were convicted.The title plays the term against the judge’s insistence on imposing a swingeing penalty. For many, this occasion typified the moral backlash against the liberalisation of the 1960s

Jeremy Bentham’s Panopticon prison idea first came in 1791. The idea went now further: the whole urban space is under surveillance by various CCTV systems.

Jeremy Bentham's original plans and ideas
Since the IRA bombing campaign in the City of London during the 90’s, the square mile have been surrounded by a cordon of CCTV cameras, known as the Ring of Steel, able to check all the vehicles and pedestrians that are entering and exiting the City.
I started photographing CCTV cameras as a reaction against the fact that I couldn’t relax anymore practising my street photography around the City of London without being constantly questioned by security guys and police officers.
