The furniture, decor, and personal belongings of the former inhabitants remain inside, even as ceilings cave in, mould grows, and dust settles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePhotographer Bryan Sansivero has been uncovering these abandoned homes for more than a decade, travelling across the country to capture them on film before they crumble completely. The homes can be difficult to locate and traverse, and he's never sure what he might find. There are one-of-a-kind relics: a tiger skin rug, a commemorative bicentennial piano, and a collection of mannequins, for example. But mostly, 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 they were left just yesterday. The stories of the former inhabitants remain mostly unknown, but the images are beautiful, haunting time capsules, and a reminder that everything we own is temporary, and eventually will be left behind or forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere is also an element of mystery and eeriness that this imagery evokes.
