Our home can be understood as an extension of our body. Like a second skin, it provides protection, comfort, and the ability to retreat from the outside world while safeguarding our privacy. Within this protective space, we consciously or unconsciously surround ourselves with things that define us. Whether they are everyday objects or elements of our cultural heritage, these items help shape our identity and create a personal environment.

When we are stripped of this security, our sense of identity and belonging is deeply shaken. Artists Lauren Jetty and Lisa Reiter explore the concepts of preservation, protection of property, and cultural heritage. Through their work, they raise questions about labor, domestic fear, and how the loss of security shapes our connection to cultural heritage, both for ourselves and for future generations.

Lisa Reiter is working in the field of sculpture and installation, always in search of traces of human interaction in space – in the domestic as well as the public sphere. She lives and works in Vienna, Austria.

Lauren Jetty is an artist, performer, musician, lecturer, and educator; often blurring the lines between these roles. Curiosity and conversation drive Lauren’s practice; she presents scenarios that bring the familiar into the realm of the magical. She specializes in the ‘other’ senses (taste, touch, and smell), with a particular interest in the cross-modality of scent and sound. She lives and works in Wales, UK. www.laurenjetty.com
