Description
Abandoned Asylums takes readers on a powerful and haunting visual journey into America's abandoned state hospitals, asylums, and psychiatric facilities. Photographer Matt Van der Velde's images capture the emotional depth of these institutions, which once played host to countless stories and personal dramas behind locked doors. The book explores the history of these institutions, from their glorious past to their uncertain future, and delves into the lives of those who lived and worked within them. A foreword by Carla Yanni examines their evolution, while accompanying writings by Matt Van der Velde provide insight into their histories. Through its pages, Abandoned Asylums sheds light on a tragic reality, revealing the private mental hospitals that treated celebrities seeking refuge, the seclusion cells of infamous asylums, and the autopsy theaters where groundbreaking procedures took place.
