Research on what it means to be and experience ‘the other’. My brother is autistic and my relationship to him is distant. Respecting his privacy concerns and wishes, the project resulted in showcasing his loved belongings – blue clothes, lego sculptures, books about dinosaurs and lists.
Autistic people are known for hyper fixating on certain objects and interests and keeping order. The items are draped before a piece of fabric that has been in our family home forever, paying homage to the fact that this has effects each family member.
