4 fake“surveillance videos”mix some real records of crimes and our daily life shots.

The mix of two kinds of reality comes to a eternal false sense of“normal ” in daily life.Is our life really normal?Are ourselves really normal?

The 4 violences all broke out in public,but nobody helped to stop the crimes as if they didn’t see the scene.

We can only hear the explanations of the cases from some TV news sound disorderly and brokenly.It seems we can know the truth,but we only know so lately and always live in dark…

Is there whose eyes can see?
