Today’s headline is ‘If You Have Nothing To Hide You Have Nothing To Fear’, a phrase attributed to everyone from George Orwell to, most recently, the politician William Hague. Responding to the surveillance of public and private space, Kypros Kyprianou created a curious intervention, by way of a newspaper stand stationed in the Bearpit during peak commuter times.

In a performance that veers between end-is-nigh hectoring and 50’s spy slapstick, the artist gave away free copies of ‘The Daily Record’ to unwitting passersby.


About the artist

Kypros Kyprianou is an artist based in Bristol. He investigates scientific, political and cultural constructs using materials drawn from official archives, reverse-engineered objects, scenarios from film and hearsay. His practice is often collaborative, culminating in performance, video, publications and site-specific intervention.
