entry description
I took this photo in an ex-prison in Leeuwarden /NL/. It’s strange to say but there was an incredible atmosphere- full of everything. It’s like when you stop time somewhere, you hear steps going down the metal stairs echoing in one rhythm, silence and at the same time the noise of souls questioning their conscience, inhalation and exhalation, loud heartbeat.Today you walk on these floors, look at the numbers on the cell doors and the whole area is still undergoing a kind of purification - nowadays, this space serves as a library, art shops and a cultural centre.
