Let´s Play House

​

This installation emerged as a response to a photography assignment during my undergraduate studies. Instead of treating photography as a purely two-dimensional medium, I approached it from a spatial and installation-based perspective, driven by my interest in love and the human body as aesthetic territories.

Inspired by artists like Orlan and David Hockney, I created a series of intimate portraits featuring my own parents. These photographs are not explicit or voyeuristic in a sexual sense, but rather an exploration of real love — of bodies marked by time, with wrinkles, scars, softness, and tenderness.

The images are housed inside eight small paper homes, handcrafted to echo the fragile architecture of memory. Each interior replicates rooms from my childhood home in Bogotá. A single window in each house invites viewers to peek discreetly into scenes of affection, flirtation, or passion. The work reflects on intimacy, the beauty that lies beyond idealized bodies, and the emotional weight of domestic space.
