The interior is often understood as a space of refuge: intimate, safe and familiar. It is where the body withdraws from the outside world, surrounded by objects, memories, and routines that produce a sense of belonging. Yet the interior can also become a place of confinement. The walls that protect us can isolate us and the devices that connect us can intensify our sense of distance. Domestic structures and familiar objects offer comfort while simultaneously carry the potential of becoming a source of anxiety and alienation.
The exhibition explores the interior as a psychological space in which vulnerability is continuously negotiated. The works consider the ambiguity of a state between solitude and surveillance, feeling safe while being detached, protected while sensing the possibility of intrusion.
Voyeurism emerges within this tension: The interior is traditionally a space hidden from public view, yet it also invites observation. Through windows, screens, cameras, reflections, sensors, and digital networks, the private space becomes increasingly permeable. Devices listen and record; algorithms anticipate behaviour; machines become companions, witnesses, or silent observers.
We can look into the lives of others, while becoming aware that we too may be observed.

バーバラ・ハインツとアンドリュー・メズヴィンスキーによる展覧会

室内空間は、親密で、安全で、身近な、避難場所のような空間ととらえられることが多い。そこでは身体は外の世界から退き、帰属意識を生み出す物や記憶、日常的な習慣に囲まれて過ごす。しかし同時に、室内空間は閉じ込められる場所ともなりうる。私たちを守るための壁は私たちを孤立させ、私たちをつなぐはずの装置が、かえって距離を感じさせることもある。家庭の構造や身近な物は安らぎを与える一方で、不安や疎外感の源となる可能性も同時にはらんでいる。
本展では、脆弱さが絶えずせめぎ合う心理的空間としての室内空間を考察する。作品は、孤独と監視、安心を感じつつ距離をとっている感覚、守られている一方で侵入される可能性を感じている状態――そうした曖昧な境界にある感覚について考察する。
この緊張関係のなかで、「覗き見（ヴォワイユリズム）」が浮かび上がる。室内空間は本来、人目から隠された空間である一方、同時に観察を誘う空間でもある。窓、スクリーン、カメラ、反射、センサー、デジタル・ネットワークを通じ、私的な空間はますます外部に対して開かれ、境界が曖昧になっている。機器は音を聞き取り、記録し、アルゴリズムは行動を予測し、機械は仲間となり、目撃者となり、あるいは無言の観察者となる。私たちは他者の生活を覗き見ることができる一方で、自分自身もまた、誰かに見られているかもしれないということに気づかされるのである。
