A Home with No Roof emerges from memories of a childhood home where everyday intimacy coexisted with discomfort, strangeness, and emotional pain. Seeking both distance from these memories and a way to reclaim control over them, the artist creates a miniature version of her apartment and immerses herself in it.

By combining miniature furniture, everyday objects, and sculpted fragments of her body, she explores the tensions embedded in the space. Shifts in scale transform the apartment into something unstable and almost monstrous. The house becomes a body, and her body becomes a house she must learn to inhabit.


Sara De Brito Faustino (1999) is a photographer whose work explores memory, intimacy, and the materiality of everyday objects. Her practice engages the body and domestic space through shifts of scale, highlighting textures, colors, folds, fissures, strengths, and fragilities. Using analogue manipulations, she hand-builds intricate sets where materials play an active role in the image. Everyday subjects become starting points for compositions that move between the ordinary and the strange. Through these constructed environments, she reflects on how emotions and personal history can take physical form and how photographic images can hold traces of lived experience.
