Private Monument Enclosures (2026)

Wed 11 Nov 2026 – Sat 6 Feb 2027

It's surprisingly and disturbingly easy to log onto CCTV security cameras connected to the internet, and due to increases in surveillance infrastructure, the cameras are plentiful. These little machines aren’t just outside measuring traffic and nature trails, but sit with us in our most quotidian spaces. In Private Monument Enclosures, each computer runs a live feed from a different interior location: a grocery store in Japan, a hotel lobby in Russia, a casino bar in Philadelphia, a church in Ireland.

July 19, 2026. A flea market. A small town beneath a larger roof. Faces behind the tables. A train disappears into a hill. There is room for someone else. 

Roberto Santaguida spent a Sunday in the St. Catharines Factory Outlet Flea Market discovering the intricacies of a humming trading post tucked away in an unsuspecting city suburb.

A world that would tolerate its own demise if only it were allowed to watch it in the cinema is not going to be intimidated by the incomprehensible.
