series of events of a strange nature :
huge variations in temperature, the
presence of the sickening smell of
an old perfume, formation of black

the house and let behind them most
of their furnitures and objects.

“ …how domestic interior emerges at the end
of the 1700’s « For the
private individual, the
place of dwelling is for
the first time opposed
to the place of work.
The former constitutes
itself as the interior.
Its complement is the
office. The private individual who in the office
has to deal with reality, needs the domestic
interior to sustain himin
his illusions. ”
Walter Benjamin, The Arcades Project
