Playing House

With:

Hanna Burkart

Living 2016–2026, 2026
Series of 10, ink on paper
30×40 cm, framed

Living 2016–2026 traces ten years of living and working across changing spaces—from private homes and studios to hotels, exhibition spaces, residencies, garages, workshops, and gardens. Each sheet represents one year, recording the duration, type, and location of each place. The work reflects on living as movement and on the ways living and artistic practice intersect.  Thank you @hannaburkart for being part of this show 💖 taken in Binningen, Switzerland by @back.yardsociety

Both works reflect on artistic labour and which parts of it become visible. How much time is spent on administration, funding applications, and the business of being an artist? The work explores whether strategies from business and management can be applied to artistic practice, and what happens when they are.

By portraying everyday household appliances as family members, the work shifts attention towards the often-overlooked companions of domestic life and the emotional worlds they quietly inhabit.

Moving between memory and material, the works trace the lingering presence of past relationships and ask how intimacy survives in objects, stories, and the spaces we once shared.

Through personal objects, keys, and ceramic toys, the work reflects on intimacy as something both deeply personal and inherently social, questioning how belonging is coded, displayed, and shared.
