...there's no place like home
Homestead Gallery, London, UK
Marc Auge´: "The distinction between places and non-places derives from the opposition between place and space."
.there's no place like home amusingly toys with the notions of home and displacement. With a nod towards Oz, the exhibition suggests that place (and non-place) is defined both through time and situation.
"Home" is not only a place to reside, but is also a projected space that can be recalled and re-established wherever we are. .there's is no place like home explores an "interzone" that is somewhere between the sensation of home and the displacement of place.
