The Twin Cabins

The Twin Cabins

1960s: a young man, herding the sheep of his family farm. The cow milk collected that morning had been sold to the local shops, the wool had been spun into yarns exchanged for goods, and the money was put into savings. During a walk through the local market, the man had stum bled upon stories of neighbouring farmers investing their income in objects and other businesses. The man, being a trained carpenter, decided to put his sa vings to good use, and build two cabins on one of his many lands. The twin cabins were completed a few years later and was listed as summer holiday homes. Two couples soon reached out, showing their interest in the cabins. The holiday homes were rented out for many years and be came the occupants’ definition of leisure and relaxation. Many years had passed, and just like the trees slowly drop ping their leaves in preparation for winter, the two couples visited the cabins less and less, until they were no longer able to make the trip there. The carpenter relisted the cabins, but their condition and their size did not align with the standards of the current ti mes. One of the cabins was torn down, but the second cabin re main empty to this day 1 .
