Darkroom Print: Vienna International Airport, 2010

“Between” is the space where life happens. For Chien-Chi Chang in 2010, that space contained the end of one relationship and the start of a new one, a new home in Vienna before one in Graz, and a new language (German) at age 54 — just so that he could stay in the country. Jet Lag explores disconnection through the lens of a constant traveler over the course of 25 years. From airports and planes to hotel rooms and self-portraits, the gap between unfamiliar and familiar in a world of flux becomes a home of sorts, but often an uneasy one. In this image, time passes and just as much seems to change as to stay the same.
