misty eyes discover a smile


Hospitals for mentally ill has the exclusive smell. The typical dwell of the medicine is mixed with the pictorial darkness there. Therefore it's hard even to trust the reality of the club "Modus Vivendi". The artist and art therapist Renate Lusis lights up sincere smiles on the faces of the diseased. The wearied patients joyfully forget as the hardships as all social injustices their face in life. Just have a look. Romas Matulionis celebrates his 41 birthday today.







































People revive in "Modus Vivendi", and all the utensils too start the new life there. Just look at the stools below. These are incredible old - just fairy stools.
