Site specific installation of a seven metre see-through fabric, hanging from my bedroom window for passerby to step on.

Material outcome of my engagement with the volume At Home: An Anthropology of Domestic
Space, particularly Irene Cieraad’s chapter Dutch Windows: Female Virtue and Female Vice.

A week long experiment in decontextualizing the curtain, to blur the boundary between public and private.

By exagerating its proportions, the curtain shifts away from being a precise border, a line without a volume, as it touches the ground and claims space.
