"Habitare", or the home without a home is an installation that was mounted in Olot in November 2020 as part of the luciérnaga festival. The genesis: the void caused by the demolition of a tenement house in the old town is occupied by the scaffolding needed to reinforce the adjacent houses.

This scaffolding roughly follows the geometry of the demolished house with a structure that is pure tectonics: vertical and horizontal bars without any plementeria.

Habitare recovers the furniture that was in the house, recovered from all over the city and precariously restored, in an arrangement similar to the existing one. The installation inhabits the scaffolding without the need for construction. A light and music installation made from the existing lamps runs through all floors of the house. Life has returned and will remain in the memory as long as the furniture withstands the elements.
