Inspired by the writings of Marguerite Duras and Annie Ernaux, this exhibition explores the intersections of memory, female subjectivity and domestic space. At its heart is the relationship these writers establish with the interiors that shaped them. Apartments, rooms, streets and neighbourhoods recur throughout their texts and films, not merely as settings, but as sites where memory, identity and artistic production converge. Their work enters into dialogue with the artist’s own relationship to domesticity, understood not as a fixed condition of stability, but as one of continual transition, negotiation and self-construction.
Moving between the literal and the allegorical, the intimate and the collective, the exhibition asks: How might we inhabit home as a process rather than a place? How might women reconfigure home as a space of mobility, becoming and self-invention?
The exhibition brings together mixed-media installations combining materials associated with domestic life, including wood, fabric and aluminium, with photography, collage and found objects. Through processes of fragmentation, reconstruction and juxtaposition, the works stage and evoke scenes, objects and traces of the past. Rather than approaching memory as something to be preserved intact, the exhibition considers how it might be negotiated, transformed and reassembled, making room for new ways of inhabiting both the self and the world.
