This article explores the intersection between phenomenology, psychoanalysis, and contemporary art, focusing on the concepts of "home" and "body as home" as essential to understanding human experience. Through the works of Heidegger and Bachelard, the home is discussed as an existential condition that transcends mere physical occupation. Winnicott's concept of potential space highlights its importance in the development of personal identity and the ability to be alone. Marina Abramovic's art, particularly in her performance "The Artist is Present", is examined as a case study to explore how the body can act as a space for intense psychological expression and interaction. The analysis emphasizes the importance of an interdisciplinary approach for a deeper understanding of the themes of home and identity, proposing that the understanding of home should be expanded to include both physical and psychological spaces that shape human experience.
