Double Exposure (2024-Ongoing)
Double Exposure is a live installation that connects my Manhattan apartment to my family’s home in Taiwan through a continuous window-to-window stream. To facilitate this connection across a significant language barrier, I designed a custom equipment package for my family to install in Taiwan. This package contains a camera that records their exterior view, which is projected onto my New York window at a 63-degree tilt to reflect our exact geographic relationship. As sunrise and sunset move in opposite directions across the glass, the 12-hour time difference becomes a visible, real-time layer mapping our distance and inheritance.
While the indoor space remains silent, the live audio from Taiwan is localized entirely outside the room. Speakers trail through the apartment hallways and ascend toward the open roof, guiding the audience upward through the building's architecture. This vertical movement mirrors the fragmentation of home, pulling the sound into public, interstitial spaces and forcing the audience to physically confront the dislocating reality of living across two distinct environments simultaneously.
This installation will take place in the Fall of 2026.
