HOME FACADES appeared during the pandemic months of May and June 2020 in the form of six temporary photographic murals that were installed over six Sundays, in a neighborhood’s home fronts, garage doors and fences.
The murals which form a visual sequence and determine an actual walking path, can be seen as a polyptych of house-shapes and images that compose an unexpected viewing of suburbia, highlighting the gaps, empty spaces, the odd feeling of silence, absence and the nostalgia of “other” places. They offer a new perspective on the meaning of home that the lockdown created, while mapping an emotional journey around the streets of the neighborhood. Interior spaces, body and sea images sourced from previous artworks and archives are attached on home fronts, and merge in new shapes and stories to create a somewhat surreal scenario that proposes an ephemeral visual moment of surprise and contemplation in reference to the unusual circumstances experienced by all in the spring of 2020 and beyond.
