Description

From December 2021 to December 2022, artist and writer Amy Ching-Yan Lam kept a record of each time real estate, property, or housing came up in conversation. What began as a simple journal and framework soon became an index of precarity, told through the indignities, dread, and dreamscapes of what we are able to call “home”. Just as property organises people’s lives, it also overtakes them. Over the course of a year, neighbourhood landmarks are demolished, politicians break promises, friends despair, and parents age. ‘Property Journal’ is a damning indictment of the permanent state of affairs known as the housing crisis.
