"The vintage fisherman house serving as the main building, is completely constructed out of wood. This wooden inner structure is very present and the interplay with the contemporary bourgeois furniture quotes, dominant. On the spot I was reading the book 'Rhythmanalysis, Space, Time and everyday Life' (1992) van Henri Lefebvre and at a given moment I started drawing fragments of the house. Hereafter I added to each drawing a reflection out of Lefebvres book, from its first chapter: 'The Critique of The Thing'."  — AMVK
