The home is not only a private place in Carúpano. That is why, in the exhibition, the viewer should get a feeling of visiting a real home, being a guest, not just seeing images of it. The home is a place where people get together. In Carúpano, the home extends also to the street. Chairs are outside the door for all to sit, and one can hear radio and conversation sounds from the inside, visual and audial atmosphere inviting the guests inside. So, in the exhibition the home starts from the street.
The corridor-opening is transferred to a real facade complete with a (real?) door and (printed) tiles. The whole facade is a big print mounted on a light yet sturdy kapa-board.
In the corridor one should get the feeling as if they are in someone's home. The corridor, living room and maybe kitchen are at least in some sense public places in Venezuela and in our exhibition. But there are always private places that one is not welcome to. They are represented in the exhibition by doors, that can't be opened, as they are printed images or just painted ones.
We are aiming that the guest would get the feeling that someone lives there. The space is filled with authentic sound - dialog, foodmaking, radiolistening, whatever, but the sounds from the streets can be heard through the door. The walls should have a real-like tapestry, plastery or paint. There should be objects that are common in homes: cookbook, family photo album, the altar, etc. In these we can use many of the photographs taken in Carúpano.
