Project Description
‘Pandemic Aesthetics’ is the title of an ongoing project which respond to the covid-19 crisis.
The 360 visuals, which I began to collect in April 2020, are aimed to document the impact of social distancing on the public sphere. Using a computational photographic technique that creates an immersive experience of absence, I wish to emphasize the photographer’s self-elimination from the photographic frame.

About the work
The project belongs to my wider interest in how images record social conditions as well as places. A 360 image shows a whole space at once, which makes an empty square or street a record of absence as much as of architecture, and it allows the effects of social distancing on public space to be examined from the inside.
