Gate 1
A+A (artist and curator waiting at back gate of a secured estate): Could you
let us in? We have an appointment inside with the management and some residents.
B (security guard): I have to get your clearance from the main gate. Wait
here, please.
A+A: Do you like your job?
B: It’s like every job. Could be better, could be worse.
A+A: Do you have time to stand here and talk to us? Don't you have to go to
your checkpoints within a certain timeframe?
B: No, it’s OK. I have to wait for your clearance anyway. And besides,
my next checkpoint is right here.
A: How much time do you have between the checkpoints?
B: I can't tell you, it’s confidential.
A: When they let us in, could we take a walk with you around the compound?
B: No. You could be measuring the time between the checkpoints and you would
know my round. You would know how long it takes for me to walk the area.
