"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. Resident Aliens is particularly meaningful when we face the rise of neo-nationalism and xenophobia across the globe." (Guanyu Xu, 2025)
