How do we imagine our place in the world in the current age of “polycrisis,” in which many disruptive events are occurring simultaneously? This question runs through Olivia Erlanger’s long-term exploration of the symbols and myths of suburban life. For her, “home” is a vast ecosystem that includes not only houses, but also their interiors and the surrounding infrastructure. The book marks Erlanger’s first solo museum exhibition in the US, a sweeping survey of her sculptures, films, and installations.

OLIVIA ERLANGER (*1990, New York) lives and works in New York. Through sculpture, writing, and filmmaking, the artist explores America’s dreams and delusions.
