About the display
Hong Kong & London-based photographer Kenneth Lam has created a series of seven exclusive photographs based on the newest historical and contemporary Rooms Through Time.
Known for his evocative and arresting still-life photography, this new series offers a contemporary interpretation of the period rooms by Lam – whose pieces typically explore heritage, identity, family and culture – through his own lens of home.
Each vignette of Lam’s is as distinct as the rooms themselves, weaving personal history, social commentary, and aesthetic detail into a unique visual narrative.
In collaboration with the curators and creative team at Museum of the Home, the artist gives viewers a taste of the personal narratives bringing these spaces to life. Each piece draws attention to the Museum’s collection of objects found throughout the period rooms in the gallery, recontextualised with care to reveal how domestic objects can shape and reflect the lives of their owners.
Visitors can find out more about individual pieces in the series on Bloomberg Connects, the free arts and cultural app.
“Kenneth Lam’s photography offers a compelling and contemporary interpretation of our period rooms […] Through his lens, the everyday becomes extraordinary, connecting us emotionally with the universal themes of home and belonging.”– Sonia Solicari, Director, Museum of the Home
Original prints of the seven photographs are on display at the Museum of the Home in Hoxton and are available to purchase, supporting the Museum as a registered charity. The photographs are also available to purchase as prints, postcards and magnets in the Museum of the Home Shop.
