Waiting for the end

Valérie Chételat

A photographic tour of the Ziegler Hospital in Bern. Three weeks before its final closure, entire floors have already been cleared and are eerily empty. Little remains of the patients who were cared for here. A crumpled, long-cold down duvet on a bed in the hallway, for example. The hospital will be used as a federal asylum center in the future.
