The house should feel gently disconnected from the outside world, yet deeply connected to humanity and all who have walked within its walls. Guests are invited to choose between vulnerability and uniform simplicity, setting aside the visual markers that usually define individuality. This shared shift helps create an environment where presence matters more than presentation. The space is meant to function as both a safe space and a sacred one, grounded in mutual respect and consent. An added layer of the project introduces a shared dress code in which each guest must choose between being nude or wearing simple provided coveralls and slippers. This shifts the experience from viewing to participation, placing everyone inside the same social and emotional frame as the subjects on the walls. By removing everyday clothing, the space softens visual markers of status, profession, and background, encouraging people to encounter one another as bodies and presence rather than roles. The ritual of changing before entering reinforces the feeling that the house operates under a different set of values, creating a sense of belonging to a temporary, intentional community. At the same time, standardized attire and limited personal items help protect the intimacy of the environment by reducing opportunities for concealed recording as technology becomes more discreet.
