Semiotics of the Home casts construction machines as actors in a domestic space, where they perform daily tasks such as cooking, cleaning, eating, and resting. The gentle gestures enacted by large-scale machines subvert conventional notions of the domestic, imagining industrial equipment as bodies within a home rather than the machines that construct the spaces people inhabit every day.
