Abstract: | The interior has never been given such attention as it is now, a time when maps of the world represent COVID–19’s movement as ripples crossing continents, with daily recordings of cases increasing and decreasing, or coming to a halt between neighbouring countries’ now sealed borders. At the global scale, political borders have abstract boundary lines, yet on the ground, walls and poche of living spaces act as immediate buffers between individuals and neighbours. Even closer, face-masks intimately screen-off those friends and families not in one’s immediate bubble. During these periods of lockdown, items are brought inside to keep safe and clean: toilet paper, medical alcohol, disinfectant; while some items are moved out: shoes, delivery boxes; and some areas designated for interior quarantine before being fully integrated into the interior. Rooms are now rearranged to toggle between work and life. | ||||||||
