ABSTRACT

Anatomy of a Scandal (2016) is a complex body of work which finds its origins in another series you started in 2008 titled In Your Home (2008–2011), which encompasses a series of semi-nude self-portraits taken in friends’ and acquaintances’ homes without their knowledge. Already in this body of work you are playing with the borders between public and private space. Before we get to discuss Anatomy of a Scandal, could you explain the origins of In Your Home? What was the main idea behind this work? Did your friends and acquaintances later find out that you used their living space as a backdrop to your work?
