Big Brother is a poignant and deeply personal photography monograph by British artist Louis Quail. It provides an intimate visual portrait of his older brother, Justin, and his daily struggle with schizophrenia. Spanning over seven years of documentation, the book juxtaposes Louis’s sensitive photography with Justin’s own artwork, poetry, and “official” records from police and medical authorities. It is a love story at its heart, designed to humanize the individual behind the diagnosis and challenge the social stigma surrounding mental illness by revealing Justin’s resilience, humor, and humanity.
