The concept and design of the exhibition takes as its starting point my home. Unlike Peggy Guggenheim with her Palazzo Venier dei Leoni in Venice, I live in a rented flat of about 70 m² with three rooms: bedroom, bathroom and kitchen-living room.

The themes that can be exhibited in such a space are many: the housing situation in Berlin, paintings about domestic scenes, sustainability of consumption... But it's not just any flat, it's where I live, it's my personal domestic space. 

Peggy lived surrounded by art. On her bed was Alexander Calder's Silver Bedhead. What would I put in my bedroom if I had the chance? What artworks would other people choose? Wouldn't it be great to get to know artists through very personal choices? These works of art would be mixed with household objects, but also with emotionally valuable objects that are part of our 'private collection'.

I analysed the four rooms separately: bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living room. What themes emerge? Which artists do I associate with these rooms? What private objects do I want to display? By answering these questions the exhibition takes form. Bedroom: K8 Hardy and extravagant items of clothing that I own for the simple pleasure of making them part of my 'costume' collections. Bathroom: Anne Genne with her beautiful collage of leaves and my plants with their history (I have one that is 20 years old). Kitchen: the works by Martha Rosler, Robin Weltsch and Vicki Hodgetts that were part of the Womanhouse exhibition. Living room: the most representative space in the flat is for one of my favourite artists, Anthea Hamilton and my 'private collection of objects'.

As it is a small and private space, the visitor's experience should feel intimate. Visitors would enter with a key, take off their shoes and make themselves comfortable. The bed, for example, would be available to lie on and watch more of the artist's videos and material. There are also interactive stations in each room. In the bedroom one could dress up "K8 Hardy style" with the clothes on display, or in the bathroom one could pay tribute to the dead houseplants.
