Don’t get me wrong, I love it!

But is it GDPR compliant given that people walk up to a camera that will broadcast their image outside of their country?

This is most likely OK. Yes, this installation involves the processing of personal data by capturing video feeds. However, this is likely covered by a legitimate interest in doing so. And a real-time video feed is less sensitive than the recording of the installation (such as the video you linked) since the feed is only visible to a small number of people who are in a particular public location. Since the feed is bi-directional, data subjects have a reasonable expectation of being seen, thus supporting a legitimate interest argument. The most difficult part of this installation would be adequate notice per Art 13 GDPR. For more guidance on usage on video cameras, consider EDPB guidelines 3/2019, but they are mostly focused on video surveillance.

That the video feed is transferred to a different country does not matter, since both countries are in the EU. So no international transfer in the sense of Art 44 GDPR has taken place.
