The installation ‘Next Door’ is about exposing a private scene in a public space and confronting people with being a part of others privacy. A projection on one wall is showing a kitchen. Even though there are no people in the kitchen, the traces of people living in the place can be noticed. By the time the things inside the room are in the middle of falling, but has been frozen while doing so. Inside the actual room, sounds are playing. The sounds should associate to the sounds you can hear from your neighbors on the other side of the wall.

The installation also has interaction, which evolve around the projection. One person at a time picks up a pair of glasses where two infrared LED’s are attached. While wearing the glasses, the person can move the projected model of the kitchen, from side to side.
