Home\u00a0alone<\/span><\/h2>\n

The home is often expected to be a representation of the persons who inhabit it. Which makes pictures of our homes, oddly intimate. That makes it a good place to project hopes and dreams.<\/p>\n

But the opposite could also be true, a home with empty walls and dying plants rapidly transforms itself\u00a0 <\/span>into a place that represents personal failure and lack of control. What is a home when you don\u2019t really feel at home in it? II\u2019m interested in the home as a place for storytelling. And in this piece more specifically: the home as a place of loneliness. With references from art history I\u2019ve tried to portrait the home or more specific, the image of the home, as it really feels: beautiful, confined and lonely. External circumstances made me take the work home with me, the work took over, and the question is how much the two really differ.<\/p>\n
