‘There are places which are the perfect mirror of our thoughts’ – that's what came into my mind when I arrived there. 

There are places where souls walk on a tightrope between infinity and chasm – where people come near to the so-called zero, annihilation and rebirth together. I met a man on the way through the forest which leads to that place.

He looked at me, kindly, and said simply 'there's still hope down there'.

_Zero is the story of a day spent on the 'Heilstätte Grabowsee', a sanatorium built at the end of the nineteenth century,
and used as a military hospital by the Russian Army after 1945. It is in Oranienburg, around 40 kilometres north of Berlin, and was abandoned a long time ago.
