bankrupt offices by Phil Toledano (more archaeology than photography) via swissmiss + marco + szymon) I was an auctioneer while studying at university and the major contract we had was to sell the surplus office furniture and equipment from branches and head offices of major banks after they were shut down. Being in abandoned offices really was as depressing as these photos depict. When we went into the Esanda head office at North Sydney there were still personal items on people’s desks. It was sort of like being an explorer in Pompeii except of course the air was thick with the foul stench of management speak and weasel words instead of ash. Yay for corporate rationalisation and extracting the value from key assets. Good times.
