There is this certain aspect in John Divola’s photography that makes me feel more than uncomfortable. What do you think? If you are not familiar with his work go here for a quick overview, or visit John Divola’s exhaustive website which includes several statements and an interview from 1978.

For a more romantic view on abandoned rooms I recommend Tany Kely’s ‘Histoires de fenêtres’ on flickr.
