PROJECT PSYCHIATRY
Before Jurgen Huiskes finished studying photographic design, he was a social therapist in a psychiatric hospital in The Hague. Part of his work was working with people diagnosed with schizophrenia.
In his search to document the universal occurance of this disease, Jurgen has traveled to Spain, Belgium, Romania and Holland. During 11 months of 2003, he visited Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, India, Iran, Turkey, Greece and several countries in Eastern Europe to show that schizophrenia does not know any boundaries, and does not make any difference between rich, poor, social or ethnic background.
