Old Sweater Gets New Uses

Book

Editor, designer and publisher of Belgian artist Katrien De Blauwer’s limited edition photo-book Old Sweater Gets New Uses.

This is a story of three houses, three women and three bedrooms. The houses are located on the same street.

At my parents house I have a separate bedroom with a big cupboard.
At my grandmother’s house, I share the bed with her.
At the neighbors there are two rooms: one big and one small. Sometimes we sleep in the same bed.

I have a recurring dream: I can’t clean up my room at my parents house, nor can I find my clothes. They must be in one of the three bedrooms.

— Katrien De Blauwer
