a furnished alley

These are more than just discarded pieces of furniture. They are sites where our lives were lived - where we lay down to rejuvenate after a long day at work; where we ate a meal alone or with beloved friends; where we first fell in love; where we were sitting when we learned one of our parents passed away; where we ...     

 

They are part of life. The material sites of our life. The banality. The punctuated joy and elation. The crises. Here they sit, in the alleys of Chicago. Abandoned. Discarded. Temporary, like we are. For more than a decade, as I move through daily life - walking the dog, getting my daughter to school on a cargo bike, driving home - I have captured these and hundreds of other scenes of the discarded pieces of lives.

Especially in urban areas, as I look closely, I see lots of dead birds. And things that look like dead birds. Their equivalents. Look closely. Modern life is an obstacle to the free flight of birds and for the existence of much of the ecosystem. Look closely.
