“How to Change Day to Dusk is an artist book that conveys the cognitive and emotional experience of shopping for my first home in the post-pandemic housing market, specifically via Zillow. The houses you see are appropriated and curated from the app and all feature ubiquitous cut-and-paste Photoshop edits. Real estate photographers add artificial light to the sky, windows and light fixtures to an otherwise day-time photograph in order to romanticize the property. In this piece, I explore what it means to long for the American dream of a single-family home while being unattainable for so many. This book is inspired by countless hours scrolling Zillow and reading housing market news articles, Ed Ruscha’s early artist books and 20th century home builders catalogs.” -Louise Fisher
