Mobile Composition focuses both on the interior of Alvar Aalto’s Maison Louis Carré, located outside Paris and the art collection of Louis Carré, an art dealer for whom the house was built. Working from photographic documentation of the collection recorded during the 1962 visit by Finnish President, Urho Kekkonen, the book simultaneously presents the posthumous dispersal of the collection while reconvening the works through other means.

Named for a small sculpture in the collection by Alexander Calder, the work considers how artifacts and architecture might collide in ways that move beyond established ideas of domestic display, opening up access to peripheral histories and wider narratives.

Conceived as an interior in its own right, the publication assembles and arranges re-creations of archival images with intersecting fragments of cultural and personal histories to form a non-linear, non-hierarchical body of evidence.
