Hospital of Emotions: Abandoned hospital becomes immersive exhibition

Hospital of Emotions is an immersive exhibition that has taken over an abandoned four-storey hospital in downtown Los Angeles, with 70 artists transforming 80 rooms around eight departments of human emotion. Visitors check in like patients, receive a wristband and work their way through rooms for fear, anger, hope, love, sadness, gratitude and resilience. The building was found largely intact, nurses' lockers still full of personal belongings. Standout rooms include a twister floor, an anger installation with a hospital bed and empty chair, and a resilience room filled with more than 3,000 handmade ceramic eggs, created by an artist who had to build resilience around being forced to eat eggs as a child.
