“It feels kinda like being drunk. You’re there, but not in control of everything” Simone Korsbakke, 26 y/o. In 2016 Simone suffered from a stressrelated phsycosis. The project Do You See, What I See portrays in images and texts different people, who have suffered from psychosis.

Maxim (24) lives at ‘Centrul de plasament Bădiceni’ which supposed to be a temporary home for people in Moldova with mental and physical disabilities. However, the graveyard just a stone’s throw away tells another story. Around 300 adults live in the institution. Despite Moldova’s efforts of deinstitutionalization in the last ten years, these institutions are heavily criticized by the UN who strongly recommends the country to shut them down. Violence, neglect, and poor living conditions create an environment of constant agony and anxiety among the patients. Photo by Maria Høy Hansen from her 4th term project made in the spring 2022.

The Patients of Polio by Christian Falck Wolff Award of Excellence in Domestic Picture Story
“I was 5 years old when I got polio. The nurses had to tell my parents that they were not allowed to visit me in the hospital anymore because I cried inconsolably every time. I had a porcelain doll that I was very fond of. But when I finally got home from the hospital, the first thing I did was smash its feet.” In the years 1952-53, a violent polio epidemic rolled over Denmark – the worst ever in Europe. Around 7,000 Danes became ill – the vast majority of them children. Just under 350 of them died, and the survivors suffered irreversible paralysis in their bodies. Today, the children of the polio epidemic have grown old. Their lives have been marked by an illness that disabled them, but also made them resilient. Portrait from Christian Falck Wolff’s series The Patients of Polio made during his internship at Politiken.
