Artist Statement
«Most of the time we are somewhere else»
The project title is a quotation from the book «Traces of the city». This sentence inspired me to make the picture series of abounded family cabins and residents in Finnmark, Norway.

When I read this sentence it gave toughs of all the abounded estates around, fully furnished an with a feeling of «we will soon return»
What made us never come back? And why did it never get used again?
