Jokes of mind

I went to photograph in this Madhouse Italian with a lightness of who are shooting a beautiful sunset and without thinking all the way to the place where I was staying.

After a few days I began to post-produce images and that's when I really realized where I had been and what that place meant for many people. I don't think I could do my job with serenity I dwelt on the stories that those walls, those silences and objects that, they passed before my eyes, they had to tell.

That place is a kind of prison, people live within these walls for something that did not depend on their willingness, fate decided for them and their lives.

The thing that makes me most angry is that none of those people could decide its future, because each one was tied to a condition hard to shake off.

The images they want to describe, besides the obvious abandonment, solitude, silence, the fears, and the anxiety that hovered in that building all feelings which, upon returning home, they showed all together like a strong summer storm.
