Between 1999 and 2002, photographer George Georgiou was living in Kosovo and Serbia, recently emerged from war. While in country, he managed to visit three psychiatric institutions, hidden from the general public, starved of funding and a demoralised staff.. This is what he saw.

Terribly real photos, it is a side of life we look away from and pretent does not exist. God forgive us!
God Bless…rs
Leave a comment how? this set of photos have left me with no words to say just how they make me feel, incredibly sad, and very thankful for the life I have and like a lot at times think that things are bad, NO even when I think my life in not the best I am living a blessed one.
Shows you just how powerful a camera can be…..Tough assignment George.
What are those patterns on the man’s skull? š®
My GOD. ..THAT’S WRONG. .SO TERRIBLE DREADFUL ..WE THINK THAT THIS CAN NOT HAPPEN IN THIS DAY AND AGE. THE 21ST CENTURY.GOD WORKS IN MISSTERRIOUS WAYS..IT DEFIES LOGIC…
