Mattresses stand upright in the cityscape; they lean against walls, fences, or tiled facades. Removed from their horizontal function, they appear as doors or silent witnesses. The mattress is a universal object of human life, as it is in our daily use for sleep, dream, and rest, where consciousness fades and the subconscious takes over. Once exposed outdoors, the mattress becomes a social sign that is associated with displacement and vulnerability. It marks the fragile boundary between private and public, between being inside and left outside.
The photographs function as doors that belong neither fully to the private nor the public sphere. They blend into the cityscape, mirroring the
textures of neglected facades, graffiti-covered walls, and worn-out pavements. In their final moments before disposal, they serve as unexpected doors, not into physical interiors, but into the imagination.
