In our day to day it is impossible to be indifferent with so much intimidation that we suffer when being watched, whether in the streets, avenues, the subway, the bus, when we enter some store, restaurant, bar ... by cameras. And something that always strikes me when I'm on the street and I can see thousands of them scattered around the city.

For me as a street photographer and that daily I am on the streets photographing, the cameras cause a certain astonishment and stain the urban landscape. I realize that when people pass through them, they feel inhibited, invaded and is as if they think: "If it was not enough all the state assaults to control our lives, there is still this technological apparatus that films our gestures, looks, footsteps, they know where I'm going, where I've been, who I've spoken to and what I've done or not done, it's absurd!"

These cameras were installed by the state security forces, where according to them, these cameras are for "Keeping our safety".In my opinion and for me, it is only one of several state strategies to control citizens' lives. Violence is not fought with cameras, but with respect between people and the citizen have their natural right to protect himself and protect their property guaranteed.
