JUNKERHAUS is shot in the residence of Karl Junker (1850-1912) who dedicated his life to building his house in Lemgo, Germany. With elaborate woodwork covering surfaces throughout, he had made his artists’ house his life’s work – a built manifesto of a creative solitude. Junker cocooned himself within wood carvings that extended over all floors, furniture and into all corners like a spider’s web. The profusion of tangled motifs creates a fascinating yet oppressive effect – all the more bizarre since Junker designed it as a family house but lived there all by himself.
