In the Dementia Maze

A Graphic Novel

by Albin Zauner

Description

Is it possible to tell in drawings how people with dementia experience, cope with, or fail in their everyday lives? The art therapist Albin Zauner has accom­plished this feat. The picture story comprises 84 drawings and is one of the frst graphic novels on the subject of dementia. The focus is not on the medical­pathologizing view of the dis­ease pattern or course, but on the pro­tagonist’s inner world of experience. The existential effects, the loss of spa­tial and temporal orientation, the memo­ry lapses and the breakdown of speech, permeate the old man’s world of experi­ence in symbolic image sequences.
