"A Room in the Room" is a temporary site-specific installation in which I constructed a room inside of my private room, located at 352 Marlborough Street in Boston. The inner room, accessible by the second door of my room, forms an enclosure made out of transparent glass walls. Visitors enter the inner room to share my visual and sound experiences, but not physically to cross the transparent walls. With my performance living between two walls and avoiding any communication with visitors, I expose my private spectacle to the visitors, giving them the sense of strangeness that I am used to in a public space. Reconstructing and revealing the inside space of our spatial, social, psychological boundaries result in an individual and collective narrative. Thus the transparent boundary as a metaphor of physically constructed psycho-social boundaries, examines my strangeness in a room and realizes the invisible walls in our social landscape.
