In these four audio interviews we meet Clara, Danielle, Raquel and Sami; visitors to The Wayside Chapel in Potts Point, Sydney, who discuss their experiences of homelessness in Sydney and define what home means to them.

The audio interviews are a component of Realm of Reverberations by Chen Chieh-jen, and was presented alongside four filmic artworks focusing on the Losheng Sanatorium construction site in Taiwan, and four women’s unique connection to the Sanatorium and subsequent displacement from this ‘home’.
