One Nation Under CCTV, Street art mural in Westminster, England
The mural displayed a child wearing a red hooded top painting text while being observed by a police officer and a dog next to surveillance cameras.
Created in 2007 on Newman Street in London, the mural remained until April 2009 when Westminster City Council ordered its removal as unauthorized commercial art.
The mural emerged as a commentary on the increasing presence of surveillance equipment throughout London, reflecting societal concerns about personal privacy and freedom.
Located on the wall of a former Royal Mail building, the mural drew numerous visitors who documented the artwork before its removal.
The artist positioned the mural directly beneath an actual CCTV camera, incorporating the real surveillance device into the artwork's message.
