An Ordinary House
Original language description
The author spent more than ten years photographing the life of objects in an ordinary functionalist house built in Bratislava by the Jewish architect Alexander Skutecký (1883–1944), conceptually mapping the historical and contemporary layers of architecture and interior design. From the boiler room to the lightning rod and in ten apartments, she searched for original elements that survived since the house was built in 1936. She observed how they were altered, preserved, or replaced under the impact of daily use. She put the same details from different apartments underneath each other according to the floors of the building and in pairs she explored the equipment of the one-room apartment (left page) and the two-room apartment (right page). She followed in detail how the great historical events of the 20th and 21st centuries, typical for the countries of Central Europe, have passed through the house. Arization, World War II, nationalization or restitution have had an impact on seemingly insignificant details that we are accustomed to interacting with every day.
