In his deeply personal style, Eugene Richards reveals conditions inside a Mexican mental hospital and provides a stark and compelling study of the institution and its inhabitants. His powerful images go far beyond what he sees, also seeming to capture the inner experiences of his subjects. In the tradition of a true photojournalist, he brings us into an environment that we would otherwise never glimpse.
