Hardcover with dust jacket
ISBN:
Rachel Whiteread’s Long Eyes serves as a critical documentation of her ongoing investigation into memory, domestic architecture, and the materialization of absence. Published in conjunction with her 2011 exhibition, the work shifts her foundational practice of casting negative space away from monumental public structures toward the intimate, transitional thresholds of the home, specifically doors and windows. By solidifying these interstitial spaces, Whiteread transforms the invisible volumes we habitually move through or look past into dense, undeniable physical presences. This approach forces a profound reconsideration of how human history and emotional resonance are embedded within everyday domestic architecture.
