old beds

Old/abandoned beds seem to be a recurring theme in popular art photography. I suppose as objects, they're rife with symbolic connotations. Reminds me of this poem by John Berryman (definitely listen to him read it on that link...its great).

First two images are from here and here by Adam Holtzman and Jeff Wall. Remainder are Alec Soth's from here.

Some of those beds are still in use. I took a photo of an abandoned bed a while back. I'll send it.
