'Domestic Archaeology was a cross-media art project created by The Light Surgeons that was exhibited at the Geffrye Museum in East London in 2006. The work on show was developed through a process of audio-visual journalism that explores the issues surrounding identity through the study of Londoners and their rich mixture of living spaces.
The project excavated personal stories, memories, objects and meanings that were re-assembled as multimedia installations, offering a reflection on the changing condition of domestic space as well as our more psychological boundaries associated with them.'
In particular the projections of dinner being eaten on the kitchen table and that of someone on a mattress I found most interesting. The short film of collapsing the bed into couch was also intriguing, looking at space in a contemporary context and one in which it is diminishing.
