In our media flooded world - in the days of reality TV - we see a lot of unknown faces. We see them briefly and forget them. We might not see them as human beings it is probably more likely that we see them as abstract and creatures from another world.
A flood of inmates' pictures is what the audience watches on this screen, too. Yet here the viewer is addressed to in a closer manner: the telephone starts ringing right in front of them and a person insides (TV) waits for the answer. The ringing stops and the viewer watches another person being executed and fading away.
