Pencil, gouache on cardboards and black tape.

Cardboards were unfolded and become a flat at the “Transported House”. The house images and views which relate to unfolded cardboards were done without cutting or tearing. Cardboards became a united whole with those images. Thus, the cardboards which were direct instruments of the act of moving are transformed into a metaphor for home and the transport itself. Translocation in semantic context or displacement was questioned. In a context where the cardboards undertake the concept of transportation, it was almost impossible to decide whether the house is in the cardboards or cardboards are the house itself.
