Resident Aliens presents physical photographic installations within immigrants’ interior spaces to examine their personal histories and complex experiences. Through photographing the layered images of immigrants’ interior spaces, belongings, personal photo archives, and pictures of places they captured in this world, the project blurs the boundaries between the familiar and foreignness, private and public, belonging and alienation. The project is situated between photography, installation, and performance, constructing layered images of identity, personal history, and the built environment. Since 2020, Xu has engaged in collaborations with over forty individuals residing in Chicago, East Lansing, New York, Hong Kong, Beijing, Nanjing, and Shanghai.
