In 2014 IKEA published their first “Life at Home Reports” about morning household habits across eight global cities. This survey combines photography and big data; the respective 19th and 21st century technologies associated with “truth,” to create a pseudo-scientific analysis of global domestic space and practices. In the tradition of IKEA hacking I began to modify and repurpose these found photographs, The resulting manipulated images, combining solid color forms with areas of photographic detail, highlight the ways advertising and research are used to construct an ideal domesticity.
