This project aims to explore tools for observation to document various forms of
collective living, from intentional communities to urban co-housing setups. The goal is to lead an investigation of the lifestyle, social dynamics and spaces of different communities through photography and drawing. The camera as-
sumes the role of an observer, akin to the ethnologist, providing visual insights accompanied by critical essays, interviews,
and personal reports.
