Elisa Barison Explores the Elusive Concept of Home in Photographic Series

publication · 2026-06-23

Elisa Barison's photographic series "Where is home?" investigates the notion of home as a feeling of belonging rather than a fixed physical place. In the context of contemporary urban nomadism, where individuals often inhabit multiple spaces simultaneously as children, students, or workers, Barison uses stereotypes, misplaced details, and chaotic subjects to create an imaginary of fragments that represent this ongoing search. The work invites viewers to reflect on what, who, or where home is for them. The series is presented as part of the column "Il Teorema dell'Anatra" on ATP Diary, which questions the reliability of appearances in photography. The column is promoted by LABA Libera Accademia di Belle Arti in Brescia.
