  • A Catholic confessional between a penitent parishioner and her local priest at St. Lawrence's Catholic church in Feltham, London. While kneeling to face the priest, the lady speaks in absolute confidence and secrecy to a screen beyond which the man listens and offers spiritual advice. A confessional is a small, enclosed booth used for the Sacrament of Penance, often called confession, or Reconciliation. Usually, the priest and penitent are in separate compartments and speak to each other through a grid or lattice and a crucifix hangs over the grille. But here, a screen grille inserted in it separates the two. The penitent may be able to see the priest through the screen, but the priest can usually never see the penitent - hearing instead of the person's sinful admissions.

  • RAF Fylingdales is a British Royal Air Force station high on Snod Hill in the North York Moors, England. Before their demolition by Ministry of Defence contractors this early attack warning Cold War facility, consisted of three 40-metre-diameter 'golfballs' or geodesic domes (radomes) containing mechanically steered radar. They became a local tourist attraction and coach tours drove past the site listening to the interference on radios emitted by the radomes. They have since been replaced by the current tetrahedron ('pyramid') structure and is still a secret location. Its Motto is "Vigilamus" ("We are watching"). It is now a radar base and part of the United States-controlled Ballistic Missile Early Warning System (BMEWS).

Other parts of this notorious  site are thought to be used by the Space Based Infrared System employed by the US National Missile Defence program. The base has attracted significant levels of protest from anti-nuclear and pacifist groups.

  • Pasted to the wall in Gerrard Street, Soho, in London's Chinatown, the Metropolitan Police are appealing for witnesses to help with their investigation of a murder of Vien Xuan Cao, a Chinese immigrant who was murdered in this street after being attacked with a meat cleaver. The implication is that this was a Triad turf war, a territorial dispute between gang members of this secret society. We see the young man's face photocopied to the paperwork, laid over more traditional images of ethnic Chinese and a boxing contest promotional poster. "Can you Help?" reads the Police's appeal and alongside, the same text has been translated into Chinese for locals to read.

  • A giant eye from a construction site hoarding appears to be watching pedestrians and their long shadows on Neal Street, London. Reminiscent of an Orwellian 'Big Brother' scenario, where in the book 1984, the State is seen to be spying on its citizens, we see the portion of the large face's eye open and gazing at the passers-by who walk past unaware of their secret surveillance. It is an autumn afternoon and long shadows stretch across the pavement as the pedestrians get on with everyday life - activities that may require reporting on by those needing to know what the People are doing, saying and thinking.
