Championing Bataille’s “excremental philosophy”, Homemaker presents a vivid tableau of sausage poops exploding out of a vacuum cleaner cast in hentai manga. We refer to the home as a ‘safe haven’, since it literally allows us to keep our shit away from others, while keeping our own shit together, providing rooms to organise various objects and belongings that host narratives of desire and secrets. The vacuum cleaner is such an object that externalises the digestive system. In a way it epitomises the human condition, fluctuating between states of lack and excess, consumption and excretion, input and output.
