Someone Else's Home

Someone Else’s Home accentuates the unnoticed in everyday life: a mundane street view, an abandoned chair, a random passer-by. Steering away from the focal points of world heritage in the tourism industry, publista recomposes the lesser-known wonders and uncovers the overlooked excitement in Egypt. Photos are transferred onto or attached to found objects familiar to those in Cairo, evoking dynamic materiality that transcends the frame. This combination highlights a stark contrast between the Japanese value of minimalism reflected in the imagery, and the bustling Egyptian society symbolised by the object. Someone Else’s Home references ordinary elements and scenes that, through the lens of the artist, transform into a fascinating intersection of light, geometry, ambiguity and reimagination.
