Facade above, secrets below explores the contrast between the perfection of American house facades and their hidden, often dark and unsettling basements. In a visual journey through images selected from U.S. real estate listings, this photographic book delves beyond appearances: the facades, with their orderly beauty, represent an ideal image of stability and welcome, while the basements, semi-underground spaces almost invisible to the public, reveal the other side of the house — an intimate, empty, or fragmented dimension. These dark interiors become mirrors of the domestic unconscious, places where secrets settle, concealing the more complex and nuanced reality of domestic life.
