Full Article:

This paper explores the notion of domestic landscape from the back pages of telephone directories of the city of Medellin, which for more than 56 years have advertised the household appliances from HACEB, a pioneering brand of these products in the Colombian market. When reading all these graphic pieces as a whole, some narratives that link aspects related to the notion of home can be identified as well as landscapes that describe the emotional situation of the house’s territory.
