apartments. The content of those profiles is determined by the content people have put in
their windows to be seen publicly by pedestrians. The map can be sorted by tags and
categories in order to create a new view on the window landscape. The work questions the thin
line between public and private space based on a typical Dutch tradition of open
curtains and the intentional decoration of this exposed area.
