Starry Nights flattens rectangular packaging onto the photographic surface. The boxes hold nothing; the image contains no physical space. Space emerges in the act of looking - mentally folding the floorplan-like objects, speculating on what they might have held. Like ghosts, they are telling stories of something that once was, now only the shapes vary, while the content remains unchanged. A glass plate in front of the dark surface functions as both a mirror and a frame, superimposing one's own reflection onto the photograph, similar to a shop window. Spacers differentiate between these surfaces, keeping a gap of distance.
