Midnight

By: Gottfried, Arlene

In 1984, Gottfried met Midnight, a handsome and charming companion who danced and performed at nightclubs. A paranoid schizophrenic, Midnight soon fell victim to auditory hallucinations, self-mutilations and extreme behaviours. This two-decade visual journey of simple yet gripping portraits reveals the ravages -and redemption - of time, exposing Midnight in his many modes, vast enough to find an echo in each of us. Going beyond the superficial stigma of mental illness, these photos take us into the personal life of a man whose illness did not destroy their friendship.
