  INVISIBLE THREAT: HOME

Home is in most people’s perception the safest possible place on earth.
But, in reality, it can be a hotbed of invisible treats of any kinds.
Literally all key words of break 2.2 could be used in an idyllic
picture of a perfect family home nest. Statistics say that most of
accidents happen in home kitchens or bathrooms, any kind of harassment
you can expect to happen from your relatives at home, radiation caused
by electronic equipment, maybe contents of the concrete your walls are
built from, concrete eating ants, small, invisible insects that cause
your allergic reactions, pills, nutrition stuff of suspicious origins,
biogenetics in your home, viruses brought by food or water, computer
viruses and surveillance made possible/easier by being connected to the
internet, pollution of all kinds, be water or mass media… Idyllic
picture can easily be turned into a horror show.

Project: A scene of a small flat (or kitchen with a view to a living
room) with all those nice, user-friendly things we can’t miss in a
place like this. Home, sweet home. But a closer look discloses information about wide rang of invisible treats (possibly) presented in ones home. see a sketch
