  • Sunlight beaming through holes in the roof highlights the faded grandeur
  • Dutch photographer Niki Feijen captures abandoned and decaying buildings that lie behind 'do not enter' signs
  • A table and chairs discovered inside what was once the dining room
  • Beds feature heavily in the Disciple of Decay series, as do religious pictures and crosses
  • An old-fashioned baby carriage stands before a smeared window
  • Empty: The bed is still covered by a neatly folded duvet
  • Forlorn: A pair of shoes sit in front of an empty armchair

From the pile of books in the bedside cabinet to the neatly folded duvet, this bedroom looks almost ready for its owner to turn in for the night.

Aside, that is, from the peeling walls, patches of damp, and the thick layer of filth shrouding everything in the room.

The eerie photograph is part of a series by Dutch photographer Niki Feijen, who has captured furniture, ornaments and clothes frozen in time in homes where the owners have long since departed.

The photographer specialises in urban exploration going beyond ‘do not enter’ signs to document boarded-up houses and dilapidated buildings across western Europe.
