At Susanne´s

Public work at the Endocrinological department, Huddinge Hospital, Stockholm.

: Her furnished room breaks up the walls and the central perspective of the long corridors.

: The drawings create a contrast between the public hospital environment and the private spaces.

: The patients who come to this department are often recurring for a long time and may experience the place as a ”second home”.

: The drawings from Susanne’s home give the hospitals’ waiting rooms and corridors a ”home feeling” which gives an extra layer over the institution’s walls.
