Dok se isti u filmu doima kompaktnom, idiličnom cjelinom koja odiše ugodom i toplinom doma obasjanog suncem, u stvarnosti on je skup raščlanjenih zidova i kulisa, nalik onima koje koristim u animiranim lutka filmovima. Osim što naglašava indeksikalnost filmskog prostora, rad reflektira ideju kako dom nije fiksno mjesto i uporište, već iluzorno pribježište, gdje se fragmentiranom prostoru minijaturnih kulisa pripisuju obilježja doma i fragilnog osjećaja sigurnosti.
(iz umjetničine izjave)
While in the film the same seems like a compact, idyllic whole that exudes the comfort and warmth of a sunlit home, in reality it is a collection of disjointed walls and scenery, similar to those I use in animated puppet films. Besides emphasizing the indexical nature of film space, the work reflects the idea that home is not a a fixed place and stronghold but an illusory refuge, where the fragmented space of miniature scenery is attributed the features of home and a fragile sense of securty.
(from the artist's statement)
