The objects that occupy domestic spaces and how these spaces are constructed by their inhabitants can say a lot about who they are or where they have been. This principle is depicted in the quiet scenes that a person encounters in someone’s home.
This group of people shares an interest in fire and all have experienced or witnessed the primal issues of comfort and fear with this element; they are either fire spinners or their fellow friends and collaborators. Their different personalities and lifestyles outside the tying element of fire becomes evident when visiting their homes, and the most intimate of domestic spaces: the bedroom, is so comparatively different from the last bedroom and its inhabitant. These are the quiet, everyday scenes that speak too much to not listen and document.
This series serves to document the domestic spaces of men and women in a community brought together by fire. To observe and record at first glance how the objects found in theses physical spaces relate to their inhabitants’ lifestyles, and to question whether our assumptions based on what people own are actually correct. At first glance this group of people does not seem to share a common interest in fire, however, it is their differences that makes this group’s bedrooms interesting.
