"Viewer" (1996), wall-screen of fourteen metres places the spectator face to face with foreign workers and jobless people.

This use of video makes it possible, through the projection of immigrant workers "arranged" in a line, to concentrate the eye on the personages, who thus seem more "real" than the spectators who are looking at the scene. This brings about a confrontation between "them" and us.
