Le Guin's theory of \"the container for the thing contained,\" Viken revisits the typical rooms of a house as containers for domestic interaction\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this \"encyclopedia of domestic space,\" artist and author Annee Gr tte Viken enters a dialogue with the conventional spaces that surround us, the semiotic skin we call home. She uses her first love, literature, to imagine and give voice to the seemingly mute spaces we inhabit, collecting bits and pieces from the western canon and non-western counter-canon. Inspired by Ursula K. Le Guin's essay \"The Carrier Bag Theory,\" which proposes a shift from the contained to the container, Viken moves through seven different archetypes of domestic space to find characters lying in baths, dreaming in beds and cooking in kitchens. By each time articulating the imagined voices of these spaces, she embarks on a poetic journey into the drifting island of home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnnee Gr tte Viken\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer, artist and architect based in Selbu and Brussels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Set Margins' Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/13\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789083532561\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96","brand":"Annee Grotte Viken","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52147045630133,"sku":"9789083532561","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_676655bd-2674-49e8-88d8-060e93c824ef.jpg?v=1767678636","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/domestic-encyclopedia-oblique-encounters-of-domestic-space-9789083532561","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
