Asylum

young boy lives in a state hospital in Budapest,
where his emotionally troubled mother
spends most of her time curled under sheets
(by Eugene Richards)

看Newseek一photo gallery文章 ~ Shocking Therapy: Psychiatric institutions around the world (photographs by Eugene Richards), 都很震撼.

一向也有關注精神病及精神病康復者(碩士的graduation project都是探討有關題目~勁長, 無乜必要無謂睇啦 :) ), 亦曾到訪本地的精神病院作研究.

沒想到今時今日, 世上還有像photo gallery裡的精神病院(Paraguay, Armenia, Mexico, Hungary, Kosovo)... 觸目驚心!

當你看到這些好像失去了靈魂的人及他們的起居地方時, 便會覺得自己是何等幸福.

mad dog: regarding this subjet, i would like to let you know an excellent photo report of a hongkong photographer Simon Chang. He has spent some time in Czeh and took these photos in a mental hospital in Prague, name "They":
http://www.simon.chinito.com/Pic/They/Bn.html

If my memory is right, he has won prize with this report. You should also go to see others photos in his site, he is so amazing.

I've discovered his photos & his site by chance quite some time ago.
