I did an entry some weeks ago, and since lots of people liked the post, it doesn't hurt to post some others. And as I said in the last post, I don't mean any disrespect for those people.
The pictures are

Ugh... totally heartwrenching. I cried looking through them.

Herminia's face made me laugh, though. She was definitely up to no good.

My project is: Subjectivity in Lunatic Asylums, that's why I have lots of pictures and copies of victorian patients casebooks XD

I tried focusing on Brazil since I'm from here, but it's really difficult to get information and data from the institutions in here since lots of documents were lost or destroyed and there is also a huge bureaucracy to get them. So I thought I would do my project with lots of lunatic asylums around the world and the ones that I could get some information I would explore that to the maximum. =)
