In continuation of my first book "Coming Home, four abandoned houses in Clare, Ireland", I started experimenting with the phenomenon 'book'. I wanted to have complete control of the making, unlike the production of my first book. And I wanted the images to be less 'clean', less distant.
I was, and I am still, not finished working with the poetic force of the images in abandoned houses that I photographed. I started to feel the need to physiclly show the kind of material that I came across in these houses, text to the photographs. I used parts of hardboard with bits of wallpaper as 'pages'. Once this material was used as a layer in front of a wall.
The result of this experiment carries the title: 'Coming Home, archive 1', and has 5 'pages' of hardboard with a photograph. The pages are tied together with cord.
