A site-specific live-stream projection, Double Exposure (Portrait of Apt.4F), explores distance, misalignment, and evolving connection through globalization, architecture, and light.
Two live-streamed video feeds, capturing the Brooklyn apartment windows of friends and artists JinJin Xu and Maite Iribarren Vazquez, are superimposed directly onto the windows of their shared studio in Bushwick, Brooklyn. As their lease comes to an end, the live images frame their final moments in the studio before their respective departure from New York to Macau and Mexico. The projections are tilted based on the geographic distance between these locations, calculated through the curvature of the Earth—turning their transition into a meditation on global movement, separation, and the shifting perspectives that distance inherently creates.
As the day transitions, the image fades in and out: initially overpowered by daylight, then sharpening into clarity at dusk, before dissolving into darkness, where the glass reflects and reveals their apartment interior. This temporal shift parallels the nature of relationships across distances—beginning undefined, coming into focus, and ultimately merging into a shared yet fragmented presence. By embedding architectural elements into a transient display, the piece existed as a one-night event, inviting viewers to consider global movement, shared spaces, and windows not only as physical openings but as portals of longing, memory, and asynchronous intimacy.
