Bastienne Schmidt "challenges the popular idyll of household as private utopia with her Home Stills series. Posing in the role of a lonely housewife, and staging her works exclusively in Long Island, the artist recapitulates familiar scenarios excerpted from daytime TV. Following Highway 27 across Long Island from Patchogue to Easthampton, Schmidt recreates her interiors—from cheap motel rooms to upscale mansions—as imaginary rooms of her own, a twist on Virginia Woolf's eponymous idea of a feminist haven." – Press Info
