In The Neighbour, two ostensibly “mobile” habitats share space. One is a “static” mobile home from the late 1970s, which developed as a way for lower-middle class families to partake in “caravan culture”, or escape longer term from the city and its property regimes. The second, coming from another direction in the same period, is a camper van, which follows gypsies and travellers in an attempt to produce the continuously nomadic home, built in the car factory.These two objects, from the inside and out, ask us to inhabit questions about the contemporary housing industry, the overlaps in our landscapes of desire, of crisis, and the psychic dimensions of enclosure and spacing that have evolved not just among people, but also among competing machines, and their regulatory frameworks.
