In her “Private Bunker Series,” photographer Carsten Güth depicts suburban abodes that look completely shut off from the outside world. Though not specifically built to seal interior spaces from impending doom (see: our best places in which to ride out the apocalypse), the houses in Güth’s photos appear to have no windows or doors, creating a haunting, surreal effect.
It’s difficult to put a finger on what emotions these photographs elicit, but something about their isolation and seclusion feels nightmare-ish and claustrophobic, but still eerily beautiful. Why these homes were designed to be so inaccessible is unclear, but Güth channeled this confusion into a creepy mystification.

Private Bunker Series, the collection of photographs show a variety of residential houses shut-off from the outside world; their windows and doors nowhere to be seen.
There’s a surrealism and a beauty to these images. In many ways they feel claustrophobic – even horrific – but there’s also an elegance to be found in their minimalist forms and their obscure abstractions.
Carsten Güth studied architecture but now lives and works in Stuttgart as a designer. Recently he released this series as a zine and you can check out photographs of it on his blog.
