The Illusion of Distance: The Metamorphoses of Stigma – Samantha Bovo

Paolo Laudicina’s photographs transform the empty rooms of decommissioned psychiatric hospitals into a reminder of the lives that once inhabited them. Drawing on these images, this presentation will explore how stigma, isolation, and exclusion persist long after the psychiatric institution has ceased to exist. It is an invitation to challenge one’s gaze and question the illusion that such suffering belongs solely to the past.
