Hausstand
Hausstand is an old German word for household; it means: “A family, including all its material possessions.”As old as the word Hausstand is, equally ancient the photographs appear to be. I traveled back into the past to create images of what my own Hausstand might have looked like all those years ago.

From the 17th century until the 19th century the Gesellschaftszimmer played an important roll in social live.The Gesellschaftszimmer is a room where you receive guests. Thats why it must be the most representative room in the whole house.
