Description

Peep into the houses and try to imagine living here. I want to create awareness about the increasing amount of abandoned houses. The buildings are stacked to symbolise the rising issue, which is paralleled with the growth in homelessness. Even though we do not hear about it often, many houses are being left alone for years at a time, letting nature regenerate and take them over. The burn marks and crumbled walls/floors are the result of a fire that has taken place forcing people to leave their homes and the rust marks suggest that they have been left for a long amount of time. Some of the houses are less stable than others making it look like they are about to fall over and decay even further, which adds to the unease and feeling of instability. There are a few that fall into others, which tells us that not only is it individual houses that collapse and decay, but also whole villages and/or cities.
