The Living Room depicts the interior of a typical Dutch type of terraced housing called ‘doorzonwoning’ (literally sun-through-house), which became the most popular type of social housing in the seventies and eighties. The characteristic living room stretches from the front of the house all the way to the back. Two large windowpanes on either end connect it with the front and back yard, allowing the sun to enter freely. The private atmosphere of the living room is disturbed by the unexpected presence of a large oak tree. Close-ups of different kinds of furniture, potted plants, souvenirs and other personal belongings are carefully depicted. The quiet atmosphere is breached when the large oak tree enters the room, rearranging the interior in a destructive manner. The Living Room thus confronts the viewer with the impact this has to both tree and home, raising questions about their meaning and symbolism within Western culture.

Hi Mike, I've swept out the stuff I posted in the attic when experimenting with the design - so the attic is all yours to play around in!
In a recent phone conversation with Peter, he spoke about the piece he made in the bathroom in 'The Bedroom' in the late 1990s. He's playing with new ideas related to his early pinhole camera works, just below you, in Bedroom 2.

'One of the things I like about Murakami’s writing' S. wrote, 'has something to do with the distribution of weight: he lays out a space in which any single object is treated with as much or as little relative importance as any other. Then it is as though the scene has been evenly blotted over, the effect of this damping(taming(?)) being to sharpen the reader’s attention and make them more aware that they ---- ’.      S. deleted the entire paragraph and closed his laptop.

She sat down and drew her phone from her pocket.
No new messages.
He said he'd be home before her today.
No sign of the cat either. She idly scrolled down her messages, clicking on this from M.

"I could put a lamp over there" she thought.
