Once upon a time, an artist has performed this at a train station in my city:

He walked up in front of one of the surveillance cameras, where it is known that they use face recognition all the time.

He was wearing a rubber mask resembling a human face, in good quality. (Side note: it is forbidden to go there with your face covered.)

This mask was looking like his own face.

Now the question is, has the camera seen his face, or not?
