Sara MacKillop: “Upon entering I photographed a few shop displays that were empty and broken down. I was surprised how far from the branded controlled environment it had moved. The carefully decided domestic interiors had transformed into different striking compositions through removal and neglect. As I moved further into the shop more and more compositions arose and I kept photographing.”
Sara MacKillop: “I have previously made versions of the free category IKEA brochures using the physical and online versions of these brochures as a starting point to make alternative layouts through scanning, layering and representation. These are IKEA Bathrooms, Kitchens, Wardrobes and Worksurfaces. I paused this project in 2018 and then came back to it for this publication in 2023. While using the same IKEA brochure format this is more of a straight photography layout augmented with found text and graphics. The paper weight, binding and print echo the original publication within the parameters of available print on demand services.”
