At the young age of 19 years, Bachelor of Fine Arts, David Nebreda, was diagnosed with schizophrenia. He lives locked in a flat in Madrid with just two rooms where he has made all of his photographic work, taking no medication, no communication with the outside world without radio, newspapers, books or television. Vegetarian for 20 years, practicing abstinence, and subjected to severe fasts to maintain a state of extreme thinness.

He takes pictures of himself, after flagellation and self-harm.

Thanks, cicatrisation for making me aware of this person. Also, here is an interesting read on his work.
