Michael Schmelling: The Plan

INTRO

 

Between 2003 and 2005, Michael Schmelling photographed 12 private residences in the company of Disaster Masters, a New York-based company specializing in cleaning up homes and counseling compulsive hoarders. Featuring 490 photographs printed in black-and-white on 576 newsprint pages, this volume devotes one chapter to each home--producing an arresting art object and a fantastic document of urban archaeology and psychology.
