The Dreamers: Life, death and dreams
What do people who are diagnosed with a life-limiting illness think of life? Of death? How do they want to die? What gives them joy? Have they had dreams or visions about death, or the hereafter?
Pippa Wischer asked forty people who are receiving palliative care questions about life, dreams and dying. Photographing them while they answered these intimate and complex questions, The Dreamers reveals answers to the deeper questions of life by those living until they die.
With photography and text by Pippa Wischer (www.pippawischer.com.au) and published in 2014 by Palliative Care Victoria.
