PRIVATE ENEMY – PUBLIC EYE

Stills from Private Enemy – Public Eye

Copyright © Bruce Charlesworth

​A terrorist cell fronted by a has-been TV star unravels in an American suburb.

Begun in late 1992, Private Enemy – Public Eye remains unfinished. Photography was completed in 1997 and was followed by editing on 16mm film. Not wanting its theme of domestic terrorism to be seen as a response to the attacks of September 11, 2001, the artist shelved the film and embarked on other projects. Completion of this film is planned within the next five years.
