AT HOME
2016-2020

"At Home" focuses on identities, personal spaces, and community. I began this series of photographic portraits while living in the Türkis Rosa Lila Villa, a queer house project in Vienna. I lived there for three years, and during that time, I was deeply inspired by this place where 11 people lived together. Living in the same house and being engaged in community work gave me a strong sense of mutual belonging.

I started photographing my housemates in their rooms mainly because I wanted to become closer to them and get to know them better. It was my way of showing care and appreciation for their presence in my life, for living in the house, for supporting me, and for allowing me to support them. After I moved out, I continued photographing my subsequent flatmates, friends, and others I met in the Viennese queer scene for the same reasons.
