Exhibits & Events

Other Home is a dual exhibition of animated video installations created by Amy Lee Ketchum and Ana Carolina Estarita-Guerrero exploring the complex and often fractured connection between the individual and their perceptions of home in the context of diaspora.

Using proximity as their conceptual anchor, the works create impossible choices between belonging and observing: Houses that disappear when one gets close to inspect them, a door that stands as an invitation but lacks a handle (its only solid component a peephole where fragments of domestic life play out in a house we cannot enter), a house made of mirrors that reveals more when we let go of our reflection.

These spatial paradoxes mirror Estarita-Guerrero’s experience of perpetual displacement, where every gesture of approach becomes, at the same time, an act of distancing.

Through their distinct but parallel explorations of diaspora, both Amy Lee Ketchum and  Ana Carolina Estarita-Guerrero reveal home as a space that must be continually reimagined. The works in this exhibition illuminate how displacement transforms the self, moving those who emigrate to create new forms of belonging that exist neither fully in the past nor entirely in the present.
