Home-Play

“Home-Play” is a photographic project initiated during the lockdown period due to the COVID-19 crisis. It consists of images taken in my living place, a shared house in the Terdelt district of Brussels (Belgium), where I live with other roommates. The images generated by this project come from a desire to re.invent the real, to create and to play. They have no other claims. Frivolity, recreation and joke describe this behavior which seeks to change the function of everyday objects, to reconfigure a place that we are used to see every day. In this way, this project is not a diary relating the experience of lockdown or isolation period. “Home-Play” is a game. In this game I follow the rules of not leaving the house and reinventing everyday life with the things available inside. The idea behind is not really to offer an imaginary world in which we can escape, but rather to glimpse the everyday as something that we can endlessly reinvent.
