Since the project arose from my idea, I also planned and implemented the exhibition. Even though crowdfunding didn’t aim at its goal, I wanted to reach mine. Therefore I was running crowdfunding because I didn’t get financial support. Consequently, I didn’t do anything other than work in October to finance my exhibition. In the end, it was more than worth it! However, since I was also offered to show my work at Maze9 I started to organize the exhibition in late October.

I chose 5 to 6 photos (the number varies in shared flats with several flatmates) of each participant’s apartment. They were split into a portrait of the participant and images of the flat and the building. Also, the participants were shown their pictures before being published and asked to fill out a short questionnaire with a few questions. I wanted the visitors to get a first impression of each participant, which is why the first thing one saw after entering the room was a massive wall with all the portraits and questionnaires. Afterward, the visitors could look at all the flats and houses and were asked to find the correct participant’s flat and house. Later, the visitors could enter a separate room to find out if they were right. I didn’t want the exhibition to be overloaded because I knew I would have a lot of photos anyways. So I tried to keep the whole look clear and structured and to provide a friendly and comfortable atmosphere.

Finally, I planned a vernissage on the 6th of November, which many people visited.
