Katrien de Blauwer : Old Sweater Gets New Uses

Katrien de Blauwer : Old Sweater Gets New Uses – This is the story of three houses, three women and three bedrooms. The houses are in the same street. At my parents’ house, I have a separate bedroom with a large wardrobe. At my grandmother’s, I share a bed with her. My neighbours have two bedrooms: a large one and a small one. Sometimes we sleep in the same bed. I always dream that I won’t be able to clean my room at my parents’, or find my clothes. They must be in one of the three bedrooms. -Katrien De Blauwer (b. 1969, Belgian) ‘It’s like walking past a house where you used to live: the fact that it still exists, so concrete, makes everything that has happened since a little insubstantial.’ – Rachel Cusk, from Outline The book contains a text written by musician and singer Shirley Manson of rock band Garbage (b. 1966, Scottish).
