At Home-Photo Reflections
What housing models and environments can be found in the European sphere?
How are these perceived by their daily users?
In order to approach this question, we (X-CHANGE, the project co-organisers and our partners) distributed 60 easy-to-use disposable cameras among interested residents in Berlin, Istanbul, Ferrara and Vienna. These participants – drawn from a range of ages, social spheres, professions and life situations – were asked to photograph how they currently live (with or without co-habitants, interior and exterior pictures, their favourite rooms, etc). Having been developed, the images from each city were judged and selected by a professional jury via the internet. The aim was not to select the most “beautiful” images, but to arrive at the broadest possible collection of images of living cultures, in all their various manifestations and facets. The selected 92 photographs are intended to encourage viewers to personally engage with and reflect on their own as well as other’s living cultures.
