Modern Standards

Around the corner from my home, four social housing blocks were deemed ‘not up to modern standards’. Tenants had to move out, often leaving their furniture and posters on the walls.

Meanwhile, demolition hasn't started, and the apartments have been empty for a long time. A lot of vandalism has occurred, and the big fence surrounding the project hasn't stopped people in need of a roof over their heads from moving in.

In the summer of 2023, I jumped the fence a couple of times to document this neighborhood in limbo.
