How do we make ourselves a home when home is not fixed? Not tied to a single, stable place?
In a time when migration, mobility, and separation have become part of everyday life, notions of familiarity and safety increasingly shift onto objects, rituals, and memories. Things we carry with us take on the role of keeping us connected to home, wherever we are — an invisible thread that offers a sense of belonging.
Textiles have long been carriers of such meanings. They hold traces, tell stories, mark transitions. A blanket offers protection not only from the cold, but also from the feeling of being exposed. It can be a source of warmth, a place of retreat, or a transitional object. And it always remains in motion: a portable space, a temporary roof, a sign of care.
Zuhause explores how the feeling of home inscribes itself into personal objects and how these things help stabilize emotional spaces. At the same time, it points to the fragility of these constructs: home emerges in the in-between — in what remains, what is carried along, and what changes along the way.
