Johannes Schwartz's Blindenzimmer/Unseen Home series is on view at Het Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam, as part of Temporary House of Home.
Temporary House of Home explores how our thinking about domestic interiors and design has evolved over the past decades.
For the occasion, Schwartz made a series of analogue photographs of the interiors of blind people's homes. The interaction between interior, occupant, and object is pivotal. The interiors of our homes are often seen as the ultimate expression of our individuality, but what if we were unable to see ourselves in our interiors? What if the interior is not a reflection of who we are?
