“Once visited by these terminal patients, these places aren’t just places anymore, they turn into monuments”

Since 2007, a group of medical volunteers in the Netherlands have fulfilled hundreds of wishes of the terminally ill to make a last visit to a meaningful place, whether to have a drink at the pub, or to spend a day with a granddaughter at a dinosaur park. Hrair Sarkissian’s photographic series called
Last Scene, captures the rooms, forests, museums, churches, and nondescript city corners at the same date and time of the wisher’s visit, although in his images there are no people, just the empty spaces.
