Sited within a decaying, 1920s-era Eaton’s Catalogue Home on a farmstead 200 kilometers northwest of Winnipeg, the thesis dwells in the duality of domestic space as symbolic image and constructed interior. As the final occupants of a building that must be demolished, our work strives to inhabit the instant between waking and dreaming, “the moment where the subject is not sure of the distinction between a representation and a spatial condition” (Rice, The Emergence of the Interior, 50).

In order to occupy this world of half-dreams, the latent energy embedded in the building’s domestic memory will be incited to fuel the deconstruction. Through this awakening, assumed understandings of the site can be called into question, replaced by an unknown territory where the weight of historic context, past lives, and our own ongoing narrative all become implicated in the projection of how the death of the house should be lived.

With the sun arcing across the sky and a fire burning in the basement, work will be dictated by the cycles of the day and by the basic necessities of occupation, primarily the need to stay warm through four months of intense winter. Light becomes the mediator between sun and flame, construction and combustion, inhabitation and representation. Where heat from the furnace supports our efforts to dismantle the house, light from the sun can be used to create a camera obscura that will help determine the ways in which this disassembly could occur.

By blacking out all of the windows and only allowing pinholes of light into each room, known spatial and representational conditions are cast in shadow, overlaid by a projected image of the outside world. As the day progresses and as deconstruction moves inward, this image will shift temporally and spatially, from east to west, from nature to structure. In this way, the house becomes an active witness to its own death, one that is foreshadowed by the drawing out of our inhabitation.
