Things
Margarida Correia

November 7 - December 2, 2006

Margarida Correia’s recent body of work is an exploration of the family homes of two friends of the artist, ---- De Jong and ---- Nobre. By photographing the interior spaces in Rotterdam and Lisbon where De Jong and Nobre grew up, as well as re-photographing sections of their family photo albums, the artist examines the topics of family heritage and history through a personal and emotive lense. Although in Things, the interior spaces are densely decorated, Correia focuses our eye on those meaningful or symbolic objects that present clues regarding the lives of the families who treasure them.
