Through a practice that weaves together video and installation, Lou Fauroux explores how technologies, pop culture, and online narratives shape our imaginaries and our power relations.

Presented as the first chapter of a saga devoted to Britney Spears and surveillance, W4TCH0UT extends The Internet Collapse series, a group of films anticipating a near future marked by the disappearance of the Internet (Vol.1 The Porn Selector (2024), Vol.2 K-Detox (2025), Vol.3 The Inflencer (PJ) (wip)).

Drawing on 3D reconstructions inspired by the music video Lucky, the work stages a mise en abyme in which influencer PJ Horny embodies Britney Spears under the multiplied gaze of surveillance cameras.

By replaying and fragmenting images that saturate the media landscape, Lou Fauroux exposes the mechanisms of a patriarchal gaze that is at once omnipresent and faltering. Who is watching whom, and why ? Between fan fiction and critical distance, the work probes contemporary forms of surveillance, desire, and power, using Britney Spears as an entry point into a reflection on the structures of domination at play within the entertainment industry.
