1163 Lincroft Drive: Before and After, 2013, video, 6 minutes, 58 seconds
1163 Lincroft Drive: Before and After depicts objects in an Indiana home before (left) and after (right) it was staged.

The practice—which often involves painting walls, removing personal items, and rearranging furniture in order to anonymize a space—rose to prominence after the 2008 housing crisis. The photos in the video are cropped versions of original images provided to me by a professional home stager and real estate agent.
