This study aims to present culturally situated artefacts as depicted in nursing home environments and to analyze the underlying understandings of disciplining structures that are manifested in these kinds of places. Our personal geographies are often taken for granted, but when moving to a nursing home, geographies are glaringly rearranged. The study design is archival and cross-sectional observational, and the data is comprised of 38 photos and 13 videos showing environments from nursing homes. The analysis was inspired by the methodological steps in Roper’s and Shapira’s description of conducting an ethnography. The results are presented in four categories: 1) public areas, 2) orderliness, 3) staff’s places and 4) devices. The rearrangement of geography implies a degrading of agency and loss of authority over one’s place. The places should be understood in their relation to the agents and their temporarily claims upon them. The material and immaterial artefacts, that is the items, people and behaviours, transform the nursing staff into “space invaders”. Future inquiries may take into consideration the ways that space invasion in participative space intersect and construct the identities of the agents it invades upon.
