Time Out says

Presented in conjunction with “Everything Is Connected: Art and Conspiracy” at the Met Breuer, this four-channel video installation by British sibling duo Jane and Louise Wilson takes viewers on an immersive tour of the abandoned Berlin headquarters of the Stasi, the former secret police of communist East Germany, which kept the the populace in check through pervasive surveillance. Shot in 1997, the piece tracks through bland looking offices, complete with forsaken files, cabinets and other furnishings that taken together exemplify the banality of evil.
