我捕捉到了意大利瘋人院黑暗而神秘的歷史
"As soon as the patient passes the internment wall, he enters a new dimension of emotional emptiness ([...])" — Franco Basaglia (Italian psychiatrist, 1924-1980).
“一旦病人通過了拘留墻,他就進入了一個新的情感空虛的維度(……)”- Franco Basaglia(意大利精神病學家,1924-1980)。
It seems strange to me to write that, but mental illness has been with me all my life. I grew up in Haar, a Munich suburb. A tranquil and beautiful place yet one that accommodates one of the largest psychiatric institutions in Germany. A beautiful area with old Art Nouveau buildings but also with a cruel dark past, because in World War II euthanasia was practiced here.
對我來說,這樣寫似乎很奇怪,但精神疾病伴隨了我一生。我在慕尼黑郊區(qū)哈爾長大。一個寧靜而美麗的地方,卻容納著德國最大的精神病院之一。這是一個美麗的地方,有古老的新藝術派建筑,但也有殘酷黑暗的過去,因為在第二次世界大戰(zhàn)期間安樂死就在這里實行。
Having this in mind, my curiosity for the background of psychiatric institutions was awakened. When I visited one of these former institutions in Italy for the first time in 2013 and learned more about the sometimes cruel conditions, I realized that I wanted to photograph these places.
有了這一點,我對精神病院的背景產(chǎn)生了好奇。2013年,當我第一次去意大利參觀這些曾經(jīng)的建筑時,我了解到了更多關于這些有時很殘酷的條件,我意識到我想要拍攝這些地方。
