In installations and photographs Niels Bonde often examines the somewhat nebulous interstices between privacy and the intrusion of various forms of surveillance, a relation that evokes fear as well as fascination in many people. One of the areas he has taken up is the influence and presence of computer technology in everyday life. In other works he focuses on questions of identity and human conditions, that involves the viewer brilliantly through the installatoric practice.
