Interesting work by Fredrik Marsh.

Marsh’s title for this most recent series of Dresden, The Inhabitants, references American writer & photographer Wright Morris’s classic 1946 publication of the same name. Much like Morris, Marsh focused not on people directly, but their artifacts, on objects bearing their imprint. Empty places, remaining since the end of the Cold War, underscore the cultural and economic impact brought about by the collapse of Communism and resulting exodus of workers to the West during the early 1990s. Now gone and given over to silence, these vacant dwellings and their former inhabitants remain the forgotten ones.
