Apartment 52 examines the complexities of growing and changing in an unchanging place. It provides the viewer with an uncomfortably intimate look into my home life in New York City. Through a mix of color and black and white 16mm film, it combines fragmented environmental shots, with cinéma verité style glimpses of my family. The non-linear visual narrative is combined with incongruent, non-diegetic audio. The work addresses themes of domesticity, contained chaos, and closeness as physical proximity versus emotional closeness.
