❤️ COMING [HOME] SOON ❤️

In the evening, you step out onto the balcony to smoke a couple of cigarettes before bed. Before you stands the house across the street. The most ordinary people live there - just like you, and yet completely different. You take a drag from your cigarette and listen closely.

Before you are six windows and six stories. These stories are fragmented—you eavesdrop on a part of someone’s long conversation and imagine what they’re talking about. You can’t see the people speaking behind the windows and curtains - you can only picture what they look like based on the fact that someone has a beautiful windowsill garden, someone still hasn’t taken down their New Year’s decorations, and someone always has the bright glow of a TV screen in the evenings. Your main tool is your hearing, which helps you distinguish echoing footsteps on a wooden floor in the quiet, the festive clinking of glasses, sniffles after a phone call -  fragments of strangers’ stories.

What are those people in the windows talking about? In the top-right window, they’re saying the new tea tastes like cheap banana gum. In the bottom-middle window they’re saying the left nostril is completely blocked. In another window they’re saying there’s absolutely nothing to expect from tomorrow. Some are making up, some are breaking up, and someone is just having a completely ordinary day.

As you listen, you realize some of these stories are connected. Some are tied together much more closely than you initially thought. Over the three days you spend eavesdropping on different fragments of stories, you form your own picture of the joys and tragedies of those living in the house across the street.
