This is my border, this is my space.


In this project Lou Muuse and I visualised territorial behavior from the front yard to the bunk bed. We came up with different income categories by defining their private borders. Most of the time the size of your private space is associated with affluence. The lower the financial resources you have, the less space you have. The space you have is divided into different zones leading to the ultimate private spot: the bed.
We photographed people who live in a villa untill people who live on the street.

We can argue that the most effective way to create some kind of privacy is to obscure the view. Visibility can be removed by very primitive means, for example by pulling a blanket over your head or hanging a cloth or curtain. For this project we broke through different boundaries and photographed the individuals in their most intimate place: the bed.
