Homes

The camera stands in a house, the lens pointing through the window, outdoors, where the occupants of the home are standing.

Dozens of people pose in this way for a full minute. There’s a man who lives alone, a large family, an older woman on a trampoline. Some are entirely at ease, others more self-conscious.
