Unhomely is a collaborative crossdisciplinary installation exploring the idea of a domestic uncanny, from Sigmund Freud’s definition of uncanny. Freud’s definition owes the german word unheimlich, which literally translates to unhomely. Uncanny describes a place that is at once familiar and unfamiliar, making it unsettling, uncomfortable or frightening.
Cardboard packing boxes plaster the gallery walls, erupting as an ephemeral experience of home. Unhomely is a marriage between visual and theatric art that sets the stage for artworks to become actors. In this space, the artists explore their conceptions of the uncanny home.
