treatment centre.

[this is not my writing, it was on a wall at the treatment centre].

the reason for me posting these pictures is not my effort to ‘advertise’ my illness.

the pictures are/will be made due to my fascination regarding the building in which my treatment takes place.

i am intrigued by ‘institutions’.

hospitals, police stations, libraries, museums, banks etc.

what intrigues me is the ‘ambience’ of these places.

the decor, the architecture, the colours, the furnishing.

the building where my treatment takes place is of victorian redbrick construction.

it is large and imposing and was, up until the change of use, a general hospital.

as a treatment centre for mental illness, the interior has changed.

the doors are all keypad security locked [and exceptionally strong], and the feeling instilled by being ‘inside’ the building is very singular and powerful.

it is, as far as i am concerned, a classic example of an ‘institution’.
