As we stay home, the current system still manages to intervene in our private spaces. The more we are confined to our homes, the more the system starts to suggest or possibly even dictate how a household should be run. Homes have become hybrids. Working from home, the private home has become more like a farm, as a household now generates income and has a full life revolving around it.
SWEET HOME-OFFICE WORK is a 72h performance and installation, a reflection on contemporary private space, staged in an AirBnB rental apartment. Normally a vacation getaway in the middle of the city it is equipped with a fully functioning home-office station. The apartment is temporarily shared with the house owner, who lives in a garden cabin. Is this, what a home is today? Private and public? Inside and outside? Blurring of borders. Pull the curtain. Close it again.
