【 摘 要 】

Make/Shift is a series of architectural sculptures and photography addressing displacement and its effect on the geography of home. Each object, assembled from salvaged furniture and construction materials, examines the intimate rituals and interactions occurring in rooms of the house. The objects have been installed in various locations outside of the gallery and documented. These accompanying photographs narrate their migrations and the longing for home. As a body of work Make/Shift suggests that the feeling of home is a sense of belonging with others. It speculates on the possibility to be at home, despite displacement, through sharing these intimate domestic spaces and habits with others.
