home sweet home - Octoberfest 2006 - BAC
This three day piece at BAC consisted of eight hours construction time each day. home sweet home consisted of a 6 x 5m canvas with road and plot markings stencilled on. The canvas held 75 plots. Residents could ‘upgrade’ from a standard Terrace or Flat design, to a Shop or Detached house.



Seasons came and went, compressed over a three-day period. Villagers were given the opportunity to participate in annual celebrations such as Christmas and Valentine’s Day.
A surround soundscape looped town noises and atmospheres via the Town Hall, Church, Pub and Battersea Arts Centre.
New to home sweet home was ‘Residents FM’ a local radio station, which broadcast throughout the day, delivering news, interviews, music, information and entertainment. The town’s history was documented and displayed via hourly photographs. All residents were asked to come back on the last evening for a ‘Residents meet and greet’ celebration, before taking their home home.
