‘Honey’ is probably at work, and you, well you have simply arrived at your latest investment, your current dislocation. The true name of this place is not Home but Property—a home as exchange value. From the waistband on your underwear to your radical politics, everything, first and foremost, is exchange value, and nothing belongs to you in a simple way. Honey, I’m Home asks where ownership lies, then, and what is more: what happens to life in this paradigm. How do we live, protest, work, or determine the origins of objects and ideas under a logic in which the only stable thing about ownership is that it is always in question, indeed, always a question. This varied collection of writings attempts in turn to arrest the flow of exchange value, to abolish it, to shake it up and destabilise it, if only for a moment, to recover within it a sense of belonging. Something simple like: standing still in public space to insist on its publicness; to say: colonial violence cannot be bought and resold as afternoon tea; to test: how many subjects can I produce, how many homes can they find?
