Sydney’s real estate society bombards us with images of houses – clean, white and devoid of people – yet over 30 per cent of Sydneysiders are renting and numbers are rising. Emily Valentine’s photographic work shows rental tenants in their homes surrounded by their lives, and despite having little security, these people are proud of their homes. It is the antithesis of real estate’s sterile depictions of “the life we want”.
