This project started as a personal research and topoanalysis exercise about a house from my childhood which came repeatedly into my dreams since I moved to London in 2015. After an extended period of nightmares and daydreams, I started questioning the spatial fantasies and psychological implications of the displaced interiors we have inhabited within our intimate social experiences, and broader geographical contexts. By reading Bachelard’s interpretations of dwelling interiors in the construction of our own identity, I started an exploration of this house from its materiality, re-constructing the stone surface that constantly invaded my dreams. Focusing on the material surfaces that delimit our enclosed environments, the project was developed as a series of drawings, models, text film and writings encompassing the rich information contained in the dreams and tactile memories of material textures.

The installation was exhibited at the WIP Show at the Royal College of Art and in the the group exhibition Friends of Interpretable Spaces at St. Augustine’s Tower, the oldest building in Hackney, London.
