Émilie Delugeau - Zuhause

Home - Where can it be found? Has it ever been? Did it once exist in an unscathed state? Or has it always been a longing, a shimmering reflection of light in the shards of fragility lying before us, in the cracks of unsustainable dreams of bliss and salvation? Landscapes of destroyed matter are visible in the photo series Zuhause by Émilie Delugeau. The intact, the surface has shattered, forming the natural shapes of the impact of uncontrollable force. Home - something that in this world can only be established for moments in the corners of our nomadic, transient existence and that exists permanently only in the certainty of imagination, of the heart, and not in the illusion of the tangible, unambiguous? Not in one nation or at a single place, but in that realm which is inward within us, and in which we are constantly searching, arrived in the longing that is home, beauty, and light in the uncharted, unfathomable, and living.
