Hotel Sweet Hotel is an extensive taxonomical collection of hotel room interiors and outbuildings, produced over more than two decades in over a hundred countries on five continents. Addressing disciplines as diverse as sociology, geography, architecture and psychology, Hotel Sweet Hotel is a tribute to the 'journey' and the human virtue of hospitality, analysing concepts such as difference, globalisation, loneliness and the traveller's complicity with a space that becomes a temporary home. Balancing on the polarity between interior and exterior -whether through the physical frame of the window, or through the omnipresent screens of the TV, the computer or the smartphone-, in Hotel Sweet Hotel the great variety and eclecticism of rooms and lodgings points, with subtle irony, towards a certain anthropology of the journey.
