What makes a house a home? How does this change if you cannot leave?
Interactive documentary, installation, web site, live events and publication.
Home-Maker
is the result of two residencies which took place in the living rooms
of seven housebound, older people in South Derbyshire and Tokyo. Jeanie
Finlay spent time with each of the seven people, getting to know their
histories, preoccupations and passions, creating video and panoramic portraits
of them in their homes.
Home-Maker was presented as an interactive domestic installation as part of a UK tour, the portraits were projected as life-size digital environments recreated in typical Derbyshire and Tokyo living rooms.
Home-Maker can now only be seen online.
Navigating
the rooms provokes questions on home, family, faith and solitude and allows
an intimate insight into the lives of Florrie, Roy, Betty, Lilian, Aiko-san,
Emi-san and Monji-san.
