On view at ESPASSO NY are new prints from Julio Bittencourt’s 3-year project In a Window of Prestes Maia 911 Buildingwhich documented residents of a squatted building in São Paulo through the windows of their apartment.  In an effective voyeuristic tableaux, conjuring Hitchcock’s Rear Window, Bittencourt’s compositions blur the line between staged portraiture and documentary photography as each unique print reconfigures the windows of the Prestes Maia building and its inhabitants.
