Ludmilla Kemetmueller does not only use documentary photography for this project but also different visualization techniques like experiments with colors and materials serve as a metaphor for extistence, illness and approaching death.

The many facets of dementia, the images of an illness that is so difficult to fathom for the afflicated and their families, are reflected in this book.
