Peer into the mysterious world of abandoned homes across the United States with this fascinating photography book—a visual exploration of what makes up a life, and what we leave in our wake.
Photographer Bryan Sansivero has been uncovering abandoned homes for more than a decade, traveling across the country to capture them on film before they crumble completely, never sure of what he might find. Sansivero documents the inhabitants’ everyday living rooms, kitchens, and bedrooms just as he found them, showcasing their unique furniture, clothing, books, appliances, toys, artwork, and other personal items, which often appear as if the owners were just there a moment ago. The stories of the former tenants remain mostly unknown, but the images are haunting time capsules, and a reminder that everything we own is temporary, and eventually will be left behind or forgotten.
There is an element of mystery and eeriness that this imagery evokes. In addition to those who are entranced by beautiful coffee table books, America the Abandoned will entice those who love horror films and books—from Stranger Things to The Shining.
