A bound collection of documents on private life.
The book is made up of many small sections exploring private worlds. The collection includes a group of color coded still lifes found in other people's homes (For example, all the pink objects from one person's home were gathered and photographed), a collection of secrets that participants shared in an anonymous survey where they told two "secrets" that are true and one that is false, imagery of idealized interiors from 1980's era interior design books juxtaposed with about a hundred photographs of real homes taken by myself. Private diaries that have been published, rendering the ultimate private object public, and a collection of images juxtaposing public and private space. The form of the book is such that only one section can be examined while other sections remain shut and secret, much like the way that private life exists separated and closed off from the public world.
