concept
This work explores the boundary between private and public space through observation from a window in the evening. Two spaces are superimposed in the frame: the apartment interior and the urban landscape beyond the glass. Depending on the lighting, one space becomes more prominent while the other gradually dissolves. The window transforms into a screen where the reflection of one’s own life confronts fragments of others' daily lives, remaining perpetually out of full view.
The image changes constantly depending on the lighting. When the room is lit, the glass reflects the interior, making the apartment space more apparent as it gradually overlays the cityscape. When the lights are off, the reflections disappear, revealing a view of neighboring houses. At certain moments, both spaces are equally discernible and exist in the frame simultaneously.
The window transforms into a peculiar screen onto which two spaces and two modes of observation are superimposed. On one side is private life, typically shielded from outside gazes; on the other is the city, composed of numerous other apartments and foreign windows. Each one holds its own daily life, but from the outside, it manifests only through light, silhouettes, and random visual fragments.
