“Windows by Night” can be understood as a visual essay on the mass phenomenon of loneliness, or, alternatively, as no more than the observation of the life of neighbors moving through their natural urban habitat: apartments. It explores the cinematic qualities of the city’s windows, seeing them as small screens from which a performance, both intimate and public, is projected and contrived. The short plays with the thin line that divides the private from the public: the strangely disembodied experience of watching people and being watched. The protagonists of these images are acting under their own direction, possibly oblivious to the fact that there is another director recording them, registering the contemplative pleasures of urban life. “Windows by Night” was recorded in its entirety from windows found in Buenos Aires, New York, Chicago, Caracas, London and Rome.
