A house—every house, from the largest and most luxurious to the simplest, smallest, and most modest—is that place where, upon entering, we feel safe, sheltered from the turmoil left behind outside the door. The new EXIT 84 is devoted precisely to the house and the home, exploring both their exteriors and architectures as well as their interiors and intimacies.
EXIT 84: Home Sweet Home brings together key essays by architect Xavier Monteys and art critic and curator Carles Guerra. Monteys examines the interior dimension of the home as a framework within which we can represent ourselves, while Guerra takes the work of Marta Soul as a starting point to discuss migration and displacement—contexts in which the idea of housing takes on an even greater significance.
The portfolios in EXIT 84 invite us to explore interiors through the work of Laura Blight, Motoyuki Daifu, Jeffrey Stockbridge, Charlotta Maria Hauksdottir, Amparo Garrido, and Yolanda del Amo, each from a distinct perspective. Their approaches range from portraying a Japanese family living in an overwhelmingly crowded home to reflecting on interior ruins that still bear the traces of previous lives.
The exterior dimension is addressed by Wouter Stelwagen through his images of towering skyscrapers, Todd Hido with his nocturnal wanderings, and John Myers through a perspective centered on urbanism. A more conceptual approach emerges in the photographs of John Paul Evans, who explores the idea of home through a lens close to surrealism, and Annette LeMay Burke, who evokes memories and recollections of a house that inevitably also speaks of the passage of time.
