The exhibition is based on photographs covertly taken by the former Czechoslovak and Hungarian communist security services, of people under surveillance in the streets of Prague and Budapest. They provide a unique insight into contemporary techniques of covert investigation, and the everyday practices of oppression and intimidation.
