Lidia said nobody took a photo of her since her wedding, many, many years ago. So, she prepared enthusiastically for this occasion. Căpâlnaș Psychiatric Hospital, Romania, 2021. Part of my ongoing project, One flew over a gentry’s nest, about the residents of Căpâlnaș Psychiatric Hospital. The hospital is housed by the Mocioni-Teleki castle, built between 1876-1879 after the plans of Viennese architect Otto Wagner, who was inspired by Little Trianon at Versailles. In 1948 the castle and estates were nationalized, confiscated from their owners, The Mocioni family, and later became a psychiatric hospital.

2022 will be the last year for the psychiatric hospital to function in the castle, the estate being restituted to Mocioni family's descendents and the hospital is relocated to a new, modern building.
