I'm Not Home, Justin Tyler Close

I’M NOT HOME is a 204-page autobiography created by visual artist Justin Tyler Close.

“My entire life, I’ve been moving from house to house, country to country, leaving one home in search of another, feeling a part of many places but attached to none.”

In 2019, Justin’s house caught fire, destroying everything except one box filled with an intimate collection of works: photographs, collages, poetry, and love letters. With this book, we archive the memories.

“In many ways, this book is now my home.”

JUSTIN TYLER CLOSE is a multidisciplinary artist working across film, photography, painting, collage, and installation. He is the founder of the internationally distributed arts publication The Lab Magazine, where he served as Editor-in-Chief and Creative Director from 2010 to 2016, overseeing contributions and interviews with leading cultural figures including Marina Abramović, Noam Chomsky, and Wes Anderson.

In 2020, Close presented The Fifty Eleven Project, a large-scale audiovisual installation exhibited at Copenhagen Contemporary Museum. He recently published a 204-page art, photography, and poetry book titled I’m Not Home, archiving lost memories. His third short film, Taxi Taxi, which examines the lives of four Athenian taxi drivers, is slated for festival release in September 2026.
