BALANCING BRICKS is a sculptural work composed of seven rectangular oak frames stacked in a precarious equilibrium. The piece foregrounds both physical fragility and spatial perception: its stability appears contingent, as though the composition could collapse at any moment. At the same time, the open frames generate shifting geometries, producing new shapes and configurations depending on the viewer’s position within the space. In balancing structure and instability, the work highlights the contingent relationship between material presence and visual experience.

What is lost and what is found in the process of returning home? homecomings revisits, through varying means of translation, spatial and conceptual loci of homecoming within artistic practice. The exhibition and symposium series, from which this publication stems, draws its principle inspiration from the architectural and linguistic returns and repetitions punctuating artist Hreinn Friðfinnsson’s House Project (1974–) and author Georges Perec’s Espèces d’espaces (Species of Spaces, 1974).
