Named after the euphemistic phrase for owing more on your house than it is worth, the video component of this project takes a literal approach to that terminology in its treatment of images from foreclosed real estate listings. Each house is printed on an inkjet printer and sprayed with water until the ink starts to run down the page. The resultant water damage erodes the facades while also referencing the aftermath of natural disasters.
The project is installed to emulate a real estate office, or reference one in a gallery setting, complete with flyers displayed in a grid in the window. The familiar design of the flyers, however, comes with the unexpected addition of a dreamt, nonfictional memory of the lives of the people these houses once provided shelter for, revealing an intimate story of these dwellings as private homes.
