Welcome to these cribs! By observing and questioning the home as a physical place, this programme deconstructs our domestic bliss.
Travellers, ambitious workaholics, restless wanderers, party animals ... Don't lie to us. From time to time, we all love to chill in our cribs as true "stay-at-homes", watching some trash TV, effectively morphing Netflix into Nestflix as we curl up on our couch. But don't ever take that for granted! Amidst this domestic tranquility, there is the significance of the physical place we call our home, whether it's a house, an apartment, a garage or whatever it its you call your home. By observing and questioning the physicality of domestic bliss (or hell), this short film programme deconstructs the intimate spaces and contents of our homes, including furniture, various domestic items, the architecture, the structure of apartment complexes, or even breaktfast. Welcome to these cribs!
