Una casa en movimiento

Abstract

The pandemic that took place in history since 2020, for almost three years, was the stage where the concerns to develop this project arose. The quarantine that made it impossible for us, as a society, to leave our homes, was the starting point to generate a dialogue with the space of my home - particularly with the shack room-, the way in which as a family we live it, and how I, as an individual and artist, relate to it, with the aim of reinterpreting it through artistic creation. To develop this project, a qualitative methodology with interpretative scope was proposed, based on the collection of stories and visual archives that narrate the history of the house I have lived in since I was two years old, to then focus my attention on the way in which intuitively has been distributed throughout the house, ornamental and functional objects that over the years lose their value to end up in the shack room. It was decided to materialize this process in a visual way through the realization of an installation that simulates the space of a living room, composed of different pieces of furniture such as chairs, shelves, tables, clock, etc. The choice of the medium also led to the intervention and resignification of different objects that had been in complete disuse for an unknown amount of time as part of the furniture of the shack room, which allowed me to configure not only the space that I create, but also the space that I have always lived.
