The house has been considered the quintessential area of healing -physical or spiritual, except for critical situations. One says "home is the best place to be" because the house is seen as a refuge and balm against the uncertainty and hostility of the world. But who has traditionally provided such care at home and in the family? The weight of unregulated or informal care has been predominantly female throughout history. And even now, women who work for others are precarious, and even more when the caregiver is not salaried because she is part of the family nucleus and she is supposed to do it "because of love." The pictures we propose in this section range from caring for creatures, the elderly and the sick in different variants: looking after siblings, a sick mother, a grandson with lice, or an AIDS patient. Care and life as an epicenter.
