This bi-annual group show is on view until August 26th in Foam. This project A Home With No Roof is about the home where De Brito Faustino grew up, a place where strangeness and the familiarity of the ordinary existed alongside. Being an intimate space, it should have been nurturing and reassuring. And yet, it was the scene of painful scenes. "In A Home With No Roof, she sublimates her experience of domestic abuse, in a turbulent collision of dreams and memories. Based on a meticulous 1:12-scale model reconstruction of her childhood home, the camera traces the detritus of domestic life made miniature. Scenes are familiar, yet nothing is quite right. (...) Fragments of bodies erupt unexpectedly, sometimes grossly oversized and at other times deflated and hollow. The glint of stacks of dishes and spilt coffee moves your eye, for an instant, away from the artist’s figure, a looming presence, both dominant and awkward, amongst a sea of unease."
