Home, a place where life happens, feels, thinks, imagines,
dreams and changes.
There is no doubt that a HOME* can be a very special place
besides being just a functional living tool. A home can be like a
magnifying glass expanding everything to bigger dimensions
but also like a reducing lens of valuable history and memories
….that revolve around love…emotions …feelings. Somehow it
is a small world therefore it canbe a pretty one allowing us to
break free from the common every day routine life. Cinema
and the life inside the HOME* are interconnected and yet
show differences in what they extend. While cinema is
capable of flashing images from the past onto the screen, a
life at HOME* asserts itself always in. the present. Curiously,
this is what the mind does to itself throughout life, however the
cinema remains intimately real.Of course, it is not reality but it
is an enjoyable extension of the un- reality of daily perception.
As mentioned before, life at HOME manifests itself in the
presents, this is the reason why it can make it more real than
normal …. which can make it so disturbing as well. Art is
another angle through which we can examine life at HOME*.
Generally, in society the role of art is nebulous. Many people
live perfectly well without any art at all and even if they regret
its absence , it does not block their functioning in any way. But
at HOME* …if we consider living with the basic human needs
and gestures only , essentially the simplest performance
thereof, why can’t we introduce artistic elements to enhance
life with a pitch and pace, intonation and rhythm, position and
distance mood, scents , sounds, color and shape .
