Claire Fontaine — If you see something, say something
Claire Fontaine

If you see something, say something

2005

Claire Fontaine's *If you see something, say something* borrows its title from the ubiquitous post-9/11 public safety slogan, reframing the language of surveillance and civic duty as a subject for artistic inquiry. The work reflects the collective's ongoing interrogation of political power, social control, and the ways in which language shapes and enforces normative behavior. Through this piece, Fontaine invites viewers to consider how familiar phrases can simultaneously reassure and coerce, embedding systems of authority into everyday life.
