The theme of the house and how the perception of it can affect the quality of life is a new theme in the photographic research of photographer Lichena Bertinato (b.1975). In her latest project I live here, the recurring theme is her daily struggle wit the lack of space she has been experiencing since she has moved to London. The series of 10 isolated and solitary self-portraits, document the ways she employed to fit in the tiny spaces of her flat. The sequence of pictures that depicts non-events of her daily life, such as folding the bed, dealing with an overloaded chest-drawer or an overfull wardrobe, poignantly reveal the photographer’s emotional state about this compact way of living. The work is completed by a video installation.
