MY HOUSE IS YOUR HOUSE (MEIN HAUS IST DEIN HAUS)

MY HOUSE IS YOUR HOUSE is a site specific work in a courtyard in the historic district of Lublin. I installed the work in a house that once stood in the Jewish quarter and then became part of the Lublin Ghettos in 1941. In 2009, the house appeared to have been all but forgotten and abandoned: poor, elderly and homeless residents sought shelter there.

My work filled in a crumbling part of the wall in a passage that leads to the back courtyard, which functions as an empty space at the center of the building, surrounded by balconies on each story. Those living there assumed I must have been a restorater. At first, they let me pursue my work and then later tried to remove the paper that was washed away by the rain and wind soon after.
