‘Home is where the heart is – a three screen video portrait of Dario Os’ is an intimate film shot during the unusual experience when the artist had an unexpectedly fortunate opportunity to go and stay with a complete stranger in the person’s home based in Northern Italy. Steadman has focused on the concept of “home” within our culture, and more specifically the repetitive activities performed in the home, as a place embodying comfort and safety. His recent series of filming subjects in their own home allows the knickknacks on the table, the colour of the walls, and the style of furniture all to become elements that reveal more about the true essence of a subject’s personality than simply the image they want to present. 

In his latest film, ‘Home is where the heart is – a three screen video portrait of Dario Os,’ Steadman collaborated with his subject as the two strangers spent a week learning about each other and discussing the performative nature of how a person sees themselves, how they want to be seen and the image they actually project. The objects and the setting surrounding the subject exude a persona or mood which brings a new impact to the meaning of words being said and brings attention back to the person in the video.
