When you like sleeping on the grass, but also want a mattress...

What's amazing is how fast the earth reclaims the space. Nature is nutz

I'm wondering where that might have been. Looks like a hotel room in central or eastern Europe, possibly as far east as Russia to me, judging by the radiator and the electrical outlets. Definitely not Denmark, France, Italy or the UK. Also, judging by those same things, the room probably saw major renovations some time after the mid 1990ies.

All the sites where this series is reposted say he was East German and initially started his "Abandoned" photo series in 1989 (after the Berlin wall fell) and had been adding to it at least until 2012 when a lot of his social media accounts went silent or started to disappear, so mid-90s or later is probably spot-on. Various sites also typically say "Abandoned buildings throughout Europe" or "more than 1000 buildings in Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, and Poland". It's possible he ventured into Russia, but these could easily be old East Germany or Poland.

I cannot decypher the CRT producer or model name, that might be an indicator for the room's position to the Iron Curtain.

I would bet money that this TV is from post Iron Curtain times.

Pretty sure that place has a hidden mold problem

Looks a bit like rooms in Fallout NV, guess they got inspired by something like this.
