Four people at the time, make a twenty minute tour through  the rooms of a real abandoned house. They are guided by light, voice-samples and music, through living and speaking objects, and traces of former habitants -- real and imagined persons -- It's a trip through a life story that could have been your own.

Each of these projects is a new production yet also a variation on the same idea: collecting material from the abandoned houses to tell the story of a particular house

The first of the Domestic Affairs Houseprojects started in 2001 in a small abandoned worker’s house in the centre of the old city of Amersfoort, The Netherlands.

The house are completely dark. It envelops you in the unknown. Surrounded with familiar and daily objects, you are somehow estranged from what you know, you become a spectator to them, a spectator of your own life.

In Situ
