Belo Horizonte (MG)
Domesticidades: Guia de Bolso
[Domesticities: Pocket Guide], 2010
“A portable guide for remote visits to unvisitable places in the cities, to other people’s everyday spaces, to particular ways of living and to anonymous privacy: a manual on how to navigate during expeditions to the unsuspected side of contemporary domestic life.” This is how this guide is defined. It is made up of photos downloaded from websites of real estate agencies from Belo Horizonte. The images of the properties for purchase or rent reveal curious intimacies: from the table set for breakfast to plush frogs lying on the bed.
