Passage One

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

To have the camera installed in the back of his head, Iraqi-born Wafaa

Bilal had to undergo a painful surgical procedure to tuck the camera firmly

under his scalp.

4 / 11 The camera is at least small - just the size of a thumbnail and less

than an inch thick - but it will be switched on 24 hours a day for an entire

year.

The camera will take a photograph every single minute, digitally

capturing every aspect of Wafaa Bilal's life.

The images will then be beamed from New York, where the artist lives,

to the Middle East, where the photographs will be displayedat Qatar's new

Arab Museum of Modern Art.

The artist says the project will raise important social, political

and artistic questions, and has vowed to go about his daily life as normal.

But he admits some things, like sleeping for example, will be a bit

tricky. He now has to sleep sitting upright, and cannot use a pillow.

There's also the question of privacy. Wafaa Bilal says dinner party

invitations have already started drying up.
