The domestic is often seen as a place of privacy, enclosure, and constancy—yet it is rapidly being disrupted and transformed by the invisible layers that are added through global connectivity and disproportional access to a private realm.

Dissolving the Dwelling seeks to explore transitional spaces in-between the private and the public, the virtual and the physical, the official and the unofficial—all within the intangible notion of what a private realm might be. Through built reflections on spaces and objects, the exhibition constructs a series of incomplete zones dissolving the dwelling into the city.
