INHABIT is a photographic collection that takes a look at the impact that culture, materials, climate conditions, and even political situations have on someone's home. Through a collection of photographs with a similar aesthetic line, Lior Sperandeo challenges the viewer to examine if, when, and to what extent these elements impact their own home.
INHABIT was photographed in the past two years (2018-2020), in the poverty-stricken areas of Ethiopia, Tanzania, Kenya, Zambai and Uganda, as well as in post-cyclone-Idai, Mozambique and Post civil war South Sudan.
