COVID piše povijest

Home haircut, April 2020

A three-year old boy, Oisin, has his haircut at home, Carryduff, Northern Ireland, April 2020. Due to the lockdown hairdressers were shut.

Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council staff and councillor with NHS floral banner

This floral banner, dedicated to the National Health Service (NHS), was planted by Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council staff in Lisburn’s historic 17th-century Castle Gardens.   

Shuttered shop, Lisburn City Centre, March 2020

Due to a nationwide lockdown in March 2020, shops were ordered to close. Many people were very worried by the pandemic, and shop owners often left words of encouragement on their closed businesses, including this – ‘take care and stay safe’. Lisburn Turkish Barbers is located in Market Square, Lisburn.

Child’s linen face mask

Linen is strong, lightweight, easy to work with and helps wick moisture away. It is one of the best fabrics for facemasks or coverings. In Northern Ireland, the use of face coverings in enclosed public spaces was made mandatory to help stifle the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.   

Alcohol hand sanitiser, April 2020

Alcohol hand sanitiser was in huge demand in the early days of the pandemic. Many distilleries ceased producing spirits and started selling their own, branded, hand gels. Shortcross Gin is located outside Crossgar, Co. Down, and sold their products online.

Antwerp prison banners

The employees and inmates of the prison on Begijnenstraat made four banners. This way they sent out messages of solidarity and empathy - a wish for health for everybody.

Iftar ‘on wheels’

Celebrating ‘Iftar’ — breaking the fast together after sunset — was not possible during this Ramadan. Therefore some mosques, such as El Fath, delivered Iftar meals by cargo bike to people who were alone or in poverty.

’t Akkoord plays music for De Fontein

Since seniors turned out to be more vulnerable victims of the coronavirus, many inhabitants of care centres and service flats had to stay at home. The musical band ’t Akkoord gave a physical distance concert in front of residence De Fontein to provide some musical distraction.

Composer Zita Bružaitė’s piece “Anxiety”

When the quarantine was announced on March 16, composer Zita Bružaitė started creating her new piece “Anxiety” (Lith. Nerimas). Every day, she devoted at least half an hour for this work. The manuscript of the composition donated by Bružaitė to the museum reflects various moods and conditions that the artist had undergone on each day of the quarantine.

T-shirt

Spending her time at home, Gintautė focused on her favourite hobby, embroidery. Having asked her friends on Instagram what represented the current situation to them, she embroidered thirty-three different quarantine stories on her old T-shirt. The stories depict different symbolic ideas, nostalgic things, and relevant issues such as toilet paper and respirators. When a follower asked her to embroider something magical, she decided to interpret this through an image of ‘a coronavirus in a glass jar’. The T-shirt was given to the museum by Gintautė Riabovaitė. 

Cherry blossom trees online

Spring is the time when all the people of Vilnius go to the ‘sakura orchard’ to admire the blooming trees. Yet this spring, in order to protect the people and limit inevitable gatherings, Vilnius City Municipality in cooperation with the telecommunication company Telia installed cameras in the orchard and organised live web-streaming of the blooming sakura cherry trees. Vilnius City Municipality donated the informative sign to the museum.

A ticket from Bali

In March 2020, when the borders of most of the countries were closed suddenly, travellers were faced with huge challenges. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Lithuania started arranging repatriation flights from the countries with the biggest numbers of held-up registered citizens. The last flight from Bali Island took place on March 28-29. Ugnė Karaliūnaitė, who returned home on that flight, gave her tickets to the museum.

A template for face shields

At the rapid onset and spread of this viral infection, Lithuanian health care institutions did not have enough protective equipment, whereas the acquisition of such protective gear became next to impossible. In response to the situation, the School of Robotics developed a 3D mask print template, which businesses and individuals used to print over fifty thousand face shields for health workers in a very short period of time. Paulius Briedis (VšĮ Robotikos mokykla) donated the template to the museum.

Hamster package

This 'hamster package' was sent during the Coronavirus pandemic as an alternative birthday present, when physical visit were not possible. It contained two rolls of toilet paper, a large pack of pasta and food cans - items that were especially useful at the beginning of the first measures against the Coronavirus in Germany. Many of the items were sold out in supermarkets. The sender was the “Hamster Company, from Hamster street in Hamstern”.

Thank-You letter on a postcard to postmen

Deutsche Post AG received this self-designed postcard as a 'thank you' to its mail deliverers, who were particularly stressed by the increased volume of letters and parcels during the coronavirus pandemic. Because of the measures taken to combat the coronavirus, many households were increasingly having goods delivered to their homes. Since then, consignments have frequently been delivered contactlessly. The card can be seen as a gesture and sign of solidarity to the postman, similar to the evening applause for healthcare professionals. The postcard is marked with Cologne Cathedral in a snow globe.

Diary of an extraordinary time

The book, published by the artist Hasso von Henninges, collects contributions from 20 authors who report on their daily experiences, routines and impressions from the Coronavirus period in the months of March and April. These weeks were shaped by measures to combat the coronavirus and self-isolation. They write down their thoughts partly handwritten, partly digitally. The 260-page work has a distribution run of 32 copies.

Nuremberg, March / April 2020

Postcards in times of Corona

The artist Susanne Schattmann launched an appeal by post, sending old postcards covered with acrylic paint to family and friends, with the request to design them and send them back. More than 50 people of all ages responded with their creations. The motifs and techniques of the postcard gallery show a complete range - from watercolors and photos, to expressions and iconic representations. A related “map tour” is also being developed, as well as a self-written song.

Individually created instructions for the use of Skype and IPad for seniors

The coronavirus pandemic has boosted digitization. A large part of personal exchange has increasingly shifted to digital channels due to contact restrictions. For this reason, Mr Rauch bought an iPad for his parents, who are over 80, so that he can still communicate face to face with them. Since the parents had no experience with computers, smartphones or the internet, their son created step-by-step instructions that he sent to his parents by post with the device. He explains how to use the device and instant messaging service Skype.

Tandle Hills

From busy parks, play centres and kids clubs, to open fields, long grass, sky and space. Tandle Hills has been and will continue to be our sanctuary. Children need free limitless space, time and play without the rules of the house, adults and world around them. When it was all too much this is what healed us.

Nurses on the Children’s ward with decorated visors

Oldham’s Lockdown Museum is a digital project to collect a snapshot of what life has been like in the local area during the Covid-19 pandemic. They asked the local community to help record and explore this time, so they can share a digital time capsule with future generations of Oldham residents.

Teddy in window

Oldham Gallery published nine digital exhibitions: Lockdown Life, Kindness, Objects, Making, Changes, Messages, Nature, Sport and Work. During August they also asked for pieces of writing — people's ‘Lockdown Letters’.

Socially distanced social occasion

So far 80 people have sent over 300 images and pieces of writing which are the beginnings of a brilliant archive which will help the Gallery tell future generations what life was like in the area during a global pandemic.

Corona Solidaritätsband

This bracelet was given by the Ministry of Society to the employees of the National Administration. It shows pictograms of hygiene measures, the observance of which should slow down the further spread of Covid 19.

Gesperrt Poster Gemeinde Balzers

Between mid-March and mid-May 2020, all public playgrounds and playgrounds in the Liechtenstein municipality of Balzers were closed to the public. Posters of this kind were placed at all these places.

Jenny Mclean remembers Nidiya

Boundary Way Allotments are a couple of hundered yards from where I live. I went there yesterday and met a Jamaican man named Tony Mclean and we started a conversation about this project. He told me that his wife Jenny was at a funeral of her best friend Nidiya who had died of COVID-19 at that very time. I spoke with her this morning and she said she would be happy to have a chat at the allotments because she finds a lot of solace being there. She was almost physically sick when she was at her friends funeral remembering the 33 years, she was best friends with Nidiya. Black & Asian people seem to have been hardest hit with the disease in the city of Wolverhampton.

Clap for NHS

One of the project's 10 commissioned artists, Roy Mehta, picked this for including within the collection's 10 London Suburbs images. He said:  "The image that I have picked is: 'Shuvaseesh Das, Clap For NHS London’. I liked some of the other images but this one encapsulates the reality of the ‘Lockdown’ for so many people. The framing enables us to see the couple in context and the clapping on the balcony can only refer to the current support for the NHS. Matched with the sombre look on their faces makes this a powerful image.

Socially Distanced Soaking

Back lane fun on a hot spring day. Two friends ‘fight’ til they’re wet through and their buckets are empty. Their innocent giggles and indignant shrieks reminders of days past, and of those that will come again.

Juliette, Juliette (sounds of the street)

As spring welcomes us with sunnier, warmer days I’ve found some of my most welcomed relief resting in the garden. A combination of Lockdown married with a furious flare of symptoms meant that this small precious outdoor space had once again become the ultimate safe haven it always is for me; a place to be in the world again only in the form of wind blowing, glorious birdsong, the chitter-chatter of children playing or my closed eyes against spring sunshine. And yet it really is a wonder to participate in such a haven of rest given that we live amongst such close quarters.

Protection mask

This mask was designed in the context of the Covid-19 health crisis, by Isabelle Mathieu, a hat maker based in Alleur. This creation was developed to allow communication with people who are deaf, hard of hearing or mute. "Relab de Liège" collaborated on the project by providing laser cutting of the materials, ensuring that the edges of the fabric do not fray at the visor.

No kiss, but the heart is there!

Everything will be fine We promise!

Hand-crafted decorative panel conveying a message of hope, as part of the confinement imposed by the coronavirus crisis.

After the rain ... comes the sun, Let's stay at home!

This panel was produced during the period of confinement by a mother and her children. It was hung every day on the facade, in the windows on the ground floor of the house.

No More Skateboards

At the start of the UK lockdown at the end of March 2020, almost everything stopped. This included the usual forms of play. This is the empty skateboard park on the South Inch, Perth, Scotland.

Leprechauns and Rainbows

Very quickly after lockdown and the consequent home-schooling commenced, many families expressed their hopes and anxieties through playful artwork displayed in house windows.

Graffiti Rules OK?

From around two months into lockdown some playful protest began to emerge alongside the established empathetic response. This graffiti was created beneath the A9 bridge over the river Almond, at Inveralmond, Perth, Scotland.

Chalk-drawings in lockdown

During lockdown children rediscovered some traditional ways to play closer to home. These pavement chalk drawings and games cropped up in several places, in this instance the centre of Perth, Scotland.

Painted Pebbles

Towards the end-phase of lockdown, children began to leave painted pebbles outside of their schools as a show of solidarity and empathy.

This is part of the so-called “family lockdown caterpillar” outside Moncrieffe Primary School, Perth, Scotland.

"From Budapest"

When people started to buy all the stocks from the shops, I also wanted to provide myself proper protection, in my extraordinary way of course. I chose the medieval plague doctor mask as an example for myself. I was convinced that if that worked in the Medieval Ages, it must be useful now too. I received it just in time in April. I was doing the groceries, walking on the streets and used public transportation in this one for a week. Wherever I was, conversations froze, people were frightened around me. Professional photographers are still calling me over for having a picture on the streets. Whether there is a pandemic or not, people should never lose their senses of humour, even if it’s a bit morbid.

"From Mosonmagyarórvár"

It all started on the evening of 13th March, when it was announced that from next Monday we were not allowed to go to school. We all thought it will only take a week or two... we were wrong.

These masks were made of linen, we had colourful ones for the children and white ones with three layers for the others. I hope everything will be back to normal again soon. Now it is getting better, we can participate in summer camps where I can be surrounded by friends again!

"From Mezőkövesd"

A local dressmaker sewed my mask for my wedding. We were short on time therefore it’s not embroided. We are a family with Matyó routes, women of several generations embroided beautiful dresses and ornaments.

The wedding was on 21st March at Mezőkövesd, when my girlfriend, Beáta Görzsöny, became my wife, Beáta Kiss. :) Due to the safety measures we only had a few guests on that day, it was bizarre but also an amazing memory.

"From Debrecen"

We had read in local news and on the web that the government had asked help from citizens to sew masks at home. We sent an email with our registration, received the positive answer from one of the Community Centres of Debrecen, and they delivered all the material, rubber bands and the pattern of the mask. Everything was pretty easy afterwards. My husband drew the design, my son (with reduced capacity to work) cut them and I added the required stitches at the end. We produced more than 150 masks in a few days. It was not only fun but also really useful!

"From Herend"

I am from Herend. We worked together with several helpers, sewing shops and sponsors, and voluntarily produced around 50.000 masks in Veszprém county, and gave them out for free. Most of them went to hospitals and pharmacies.

Nova različitost

Zamolili smo posjetitelje da nam pošalju fotografije na kojima nose maske. Budući da su obvezne, maske određuju nova lica u javnim prostorima. Srpanj 2020.

Blisko naslijeđe

U razdoblju ograničenja kretanja zamolili smo svoju javnost da svoje domove pretvore u muzeje i snime video uratke o svojim „najdražim izlošcima”. Alfonso nam je ispričao kako ga je njegov šešir podsjetio na brojne uspomene na njegovu domovinu Meksiko. Travanj – svibanj 2020.

Antropologija za krizu

U razdoblju ograničenja kretanja s muzejom je surađivalo više od 20 antropologa koji su iznijeli svoja razmatranja o trenutnim događajima i promjenama u životu ljudi koje se nakon ovoga mogu očekivati. Njihove smo članke objavili na stranici muzeja. Ova je slika objavljena uz članak Álvara Alconade pod naslovom Suspended in a time of reflection (Zaustavljeni u vremenu razmišljanja).

Na natpisu stoji: „Ne diraj me! Možda imam virus!” Svibanj – lipanj 2020.

Prozori nad svijetom

U tjednima kada su Španjolci bili zatvoreni u svojim domovima kako se ne bi zarazili bolešću COVID-19, prozori su im bili jedini uvid u zbivanja vani, na ulici ili u susjedstvu. Zato smo ih zamolili da nam pošalju svoje fotografije. Na ovoj fotografiji, snimljenoj s Anina prozora, prikazano je kako se i iz „zatočeništva” može vidjeti duga. Travanj – svibanj 2020.

Nova svakodnevica

Članove svoje zajednice također smo zamolili da nam pošalju fotografije na kojima je prikazan njihov povratak u susjedstva nakon što ih nekoliko mjeseci nisu mogli posjećivati. Ángel nam je poslao fotografiju svog prvog posjeta crkvi u dugo vremena. Lipanj 2020.

Sudionici plesnog događanja u zajednici pod nazivom Poikkeusliike (Iznimni pokreti) u okrugu Ruoholahti u Helsinkiju, 27. ožujka 2020. Sudionici iz cijele Finske sudjelovali su u plesnom događanju održanom putem interneta tako što su isto vrijeme plesali 20 minuta na mjestu po svom izboru.

Sat 3B razreda Njemačke škole iz Helsinkija (Deutsche Schule Helsinki) iz zaštite okoliša održan u Parku Sinebrychoff, 26. svibnja 2020. Kad su se škole sredinom svibnja ponovno otvorile, nastava se djelomično održavala na otvorenom, a djelomično u zatvorenom. U pozadini je Anmol Dogar, nastavnik specijaliziran za posebne obrazovne potrebe.

Organizacija za pomoć Hurstin apu unatoč koronavirusu dijelila je hranu siromašnima i potrebitima u okrugu Kallio u Helsinkiju, 17. travnja 2020. Čekanje u redovima ukinuto je zbog ograničenja kretanja i hrana se dijelila kad god bi ljudi došli po nju. Ova dobrotvorna organizacija cijele godine dostavlja pakete hrane i odjeće potrebitima i organizira razna događanja.

Kad je izbila pandemija koronavirusa, u Slovenskom etnografskom muzeju kao društveno odgovornoj ustanovi zapitali smo se kako bismo mogli odgovoriti na nju te iznad svega kako bismo u toj situaciji mogli pomoći ljudima. Odlučili smo početi prikupljati viceve koji su počeli kružiti među nama. Namjera nam je bila na taj način razvedriti ljude i skrenuti im misli sa svakodnevnih briga, strahova i tjeskoba u vezi s bolešću, izolacijom i usamljenošću.

S druge smo strane također željeli zabilježiti situaciju u društvu vicevima koji su dio našeg duhovnog kulturnog naslijeđa. Jedan od tih viceva ide ovako: s obzirom na broj viceva koji kruže, ovo je najsretnija pandemija u povijesti. Drugi kaže da se vicevi o koronavirusu šire brže od samog virusa.

Jedno od glavnih obilježja viceva je prenošenje usmenim putem. Međutim, u ovoj situaciji, kada smo bili prisiljeni ostati doma, sve se premjestilo na internet i moderna sredstva komunikacije.

U dva mjeseca prikupili smo preko 1 000 viceva. Izbor viceva trenutačno je izložen u glavnoj dvorani muzeja u obliku računalne projekcije i na vanjskom stalku izvan muzeja na koji svakog tjedna pišemo nove viceve. Za Ljetnu noć muzeja 20. lipnja 2020. pripremamo izložbu „Koronski humor”.

Na fotografiji je prikazan Glenn Murphy iz Monaghana, koji je za vrijeme ograničenja kretanja trčao maraton oko svoje kuće i prikupio preko 13 500 EUR za radnike na prvoj crti iz Monaghana, zajedno sa svojom obitelji.

Maska na kojoj su izvezene ljubičice

„Kao velika obožavateljica veza, itekako sam svjesna koliko je to vremenski zahtjevan posao. I sama mnogo vezem u slobodno vrijeme. Maska je dvoslojna i izrađena ručno. Odlučila sam je ukrasiti ljubičicama iz dva razloga. To je jedan od prvih cvjetova koji cvjetaju u proljeće, baš u vrijeme kad je pandemija počela u Mađarskoj. Ljubičice su također simbol ponovnog rođenja i nade u borbi protiv virusa.”

Tehnologija i kreativnost

„Suprug i ja oboje smo radili na daljinu za vrijeme ograničenja kretanja. Moji su dnevni zadaci jednoliko raspoređeni i prilično sam zaposlena. Njegovo je radno opterećenje nasumično raspoređeno, ali je nadzor strog i s vremena na vrijeme se provjerava aktivnost na ekranu. Međutim, kada nemaš nikakvih zadataka, a znaš da bi za to vrijeme mogao obaviti puno toga po kući, to zna biti frustrirajuće. Rješenje smo pronašli u obliku štapića za ražnjiće. Tako se ni drugi ekran ne gasi dok ja radim.”

Ukras za sredinu stola

„Volim provoditi vrijeme kreativno i izrađivati ukrase. Ovu kreaciju izradila sam kao ukras za sredinu uskršnjeg stola. Već tjednima nismo vidjeli članove svoje obitelji, a svakodnevno praćenje vijesti o virusu na televiziji prešlo nam je u dnevnu rutinu. Posebno mislim da nam malo smisla za humor može znatno uljepšati dane.”

Maske s porukom

„Čim je u pandemija stigla u Mađarsku, ljudi su počeli luđački kupovati maske. Zato sam ih ja odlučila sama izraditi. Činilo mi se to kao jedino rješenje. Tražila sam pamučnu majicu vrhunske kvalitete od čijih bih leđa mogla izraditi šest maski.

Ova fotografija ima za mene veliko značenje jer je Italija moja najdraža država i jer je bila prva država u Europi koja se morala suočiti s virusom. U talijanskom jeziku postoji fraza dare una mano, pružiti ruku, što znači pomoći nekome. Majici na fotografiji nedostaje jedna ruka, što doslovno simbolizira pomoć koju je Italija trebala dobiti od zemalja čiji su turisti u osnovi njezini glavni potrošači, a koja je izostala.”

Daska za glačanje

„Ova daska za glačanje u proteklih sedam tjedana dobila je u našem svakodnevnom životu mnogo važniju ulogu nego što ju je imala u prethodnih deset godina.

Njezina je visina podesiva, što je čini savršenim stalkom za prijenosno računalo za vrijeme satova klavira koje moje dijete pohađa putem interneta. Zahvaljujući njoj nastavnik ima savršen pregled njegovog držanja i prstiju. Investicija se isplatila samo zbog toga.”

Zajedno, ali razdvojeni

Kći razgovara telefonom s majkom. Majka živi u domu za umirovljenike, ali su se uspjele ipak vidjeti, poštujući pritom propise i pravila o fizičkom distanciranju.

Idite doma

U vrijeme Uskrsa, u jednom slabo naseljenom području u Danskoj zabilježen je nagli porast broja šetača u prirodi unatoč smjernicama kojima se savjetovao ostanak doma. Jednoj je lokalnoj stanovnici ta gužva zasmetala, pa je izradila natpis na kojem je pisalo „Idite doma” i postavila ga uz cestu. Nakon nekog vremena ga je skinula jer je njezinim susjedima jako išao na živce.

Rođendan

Rođendan bez gostiju! Domovi za umirovljenike su zatvoreni i posjetiteljima je zbog virusa zabranjen ulaz. Zato se obitelj Grethe Gertsen 2. travnja morala okupiti ispred doma kako bi proslavili njezin 91. rođendan. Grethe je na prozoru.

Bolničarka

Muzej svakodnevno prikuplja priče ljudi koji imaju osjećaj kao da se njihov cijeli svijet iznenada potpuno preokrenuo. Charlotte Høj Opheim-Winje inače je bolničarka koja asistira pri ortopedskim operacijama, ali je u nekoliko dana prekvalificirana za brigu o pacijentima koji boluju od bolesti COVID-19 u Bolnici Farsø. Njezina je priča sada sačuvana za buduće naraštaje.

Netto

Kupce se prije ulaska u supermarkete i trgovine mješovite robe potiče da paze jedni na druge i na osoblje te da održavaju razmak. Trgovine ih osim toga obavještavaju da nema nikakvog razloga za gomilanje zaliha jer se roba i dalje dostavlja svakoga dana. Natpisi i upozorenja važan su dio nastojanja našeg muzeja da dokumentira ovu vrlo posebnu situaciju. Neki od njih kasnije će biti uvršteni u muzejsku zbirku. Muzej osim toga surađuje s Uredom gradonačelnika, od kojeg će dobiti sažetke odluka i drugih važnih gradskih dokumenata.

Østerbrogade

Prazne ulice i gradovi. Ljudi su doma, što je također važan dio dokumentacije koju muzej trenutačno prikuplja.

Činjenice

Sredstvo za dezinfekciju ruku, plastične rukavice i natpisi kojima se kupce upozorava na pravila ponašanja u supermarketu, uključujući maksimalni broj osoba koje smiju istovremeno biti u njegovom prostoru. Kupovina je najednom postala rizičan posao i ništa više nije kao prije. Muzej to trenutačno dokumentira jer na krizu uzrokovanu pandemijom bolesti COVID-19 gleda kao na jedinstvenu priliku za dokumentiranje povijesti u trenutku dok se ona događa. Muzeju je veoma važno prikazati sve promjene koje se događaju.

Kolica za kupovinu

Ova su kolica „prije” bila simbol kupovine koju se vikendima „moralo obaviti” nauštrb drugih, mnogo privlačnijih aktivnosti. Vukli smo ih za sobom pomalo poput kugle i u njima smo vidjeli isključivo uporabni predmet. A sada su nam u doba ograničenja kretanja ta kolica postala simbol izlaska i pustolovine.

Sušilo za rublje

Dok moja supruga (autorica fotografije na kojoj su prikazana kolica za kupovinu) radi na daljinu u sobi koju zovemo uredom, ja sam zatvoren u dnevnoj sobi i blagovaonici... Međutim, naš je ured u prijašnjem životu služio kao: soba za sviranje klavira, soba za pjevanje, soba za rad na računalu, soba za slikanje i svaka 2 – 3 dana kao soba za sušenje rublja.

Plume i ja sada živimo u našoj dnevnoj sobi / sobi za sušenje rublja. Tješim se jer je u doba ograničenja kretanja glačanje postalo suvišno (...), pa prostorija u kojoj živimo barem ne služi još i kao soba za glačanje!

Mobitel

Moj mi je mobitel postao vrlo važan otkad su uvedena ograničenja kretanja jer mi je omogućio da nazovem obitelj i prijatelje... Zahvaljujući mobitelu također sam u kontaktu sa svojim nastavnikom.

Svoj sam stari mobitel razbila onoga vikenda prije nego što su uvedena ograničenja i uspjela sam kupiti novi u zadnji čas, one srijede kad su se svi dućani zatvorili u podne. Stigla sam u dućan u 11:00. Za dlaku!

Zagrljaj poštom

„Rođendan mi je. Elisa, moje kumče, nije me smjela posjetiti ni zagrliti na moj rođendan, pa mi je zagrljaj poslala poštom. Oduševio me je.”

Heklani virus

„Kod mene se hekla.”

Prosvjed maskama

„Cimerice i ja sašile smo maske i ukrasile ih hashtagom #leavenoonebehind (nitko ne smije biti zapostavljen). Željele smo skrenuti pažnju na stradanje izbjeglica bez obzira na zabranu okupljanja.”

Obiteljska pravila

„Svrha ‘obiteljskih pravila’ je održavanje reda i mira. Ako netko ima potrebu povući se u osamu, to može izraziti crvenom karticom, a ako netko ima potrebu nešto reći, za to imamo ‘kamen za riječ’.”

Propusnica

„Ova mi je propusnica izdana nakon što sam se prijavio na ulazu u bolnicu KH Nord. Zahvaljujući njoj mogao sam prisustvovati rođenju naše kćeri.”

Ništa bez maske!

Nošenje maski nitko nije mogao izbjeći. Netko ju je stavio i na kip slovenskog pisca Edvarda Kocbeka u Parku Tivoli u Ljubljani.

Ograničeno kretanje u trgovačkom centru

Najveći trgovački centar u Sloveniji se zbog ograničenja kretanja i lakše kontrole protoka ljudi po centru poslužio kolicima za kupovinu i vrpcama kako bi ogradio put kojim su se kupci mogli kretati bez međusobnog kontakta. Namjera im je bila smanjiti mogućnost fizičkog kontakta.

Zatvoreno igralište u središtu parka

Uporaba sprava na dječjim igralištima bila je zabranjena kako bi se spriječilo daljnje širenje zaraze. Nadležna tijela oblijepila su ih trakama.

Potpuno prazan Prešernov trg u Ljubljani

Središte Ljubljane, glavnog grada Slovenije, bilo je potpuno pusto za vrijeme izolacije zbog ograničenja kretanja i zatvorenih dućana i kafića. Na trgu koji je inače sastajalište mještana i turistička atrakcija nije bilo gotovo nikoga.

Čak i kad nema nikoga, nekoga uvijek ima #1

Ulice u središtu Ljubljane bile su prazne zbog ograničenja kretanja i obustave javnog prijevoza. Neki su to iskoristili kao priliku za vježbanje vožnje na skejtbordu. Na slici se slijeva može vidjeti plakat na kojem piše „Ujedinimo se u razdvojenosti” kao podsjetnik na važnost fizičkog distanciranja. 

Zamka, 2020. / Nema me, 2020.

„Iako je kuća mojih roditelja mnogo veća od garsonijere u kojoj sam živjela kao studentica u Bukureštu prije karantene, osjećam se kao da sam u jednom od onih velikih kaveza u zoološkom vrtu, u kojima životinja živi u uvjetima kojima se oponaša njezino prirodno stanište, ali joj svejedno nedostaje sloboda.”

Projekt „Dom je svuda”: Vanjski svijet ne postoji, 2020. / Zvat ćemo te, 2020.

„Zbog trenutačne sam situacije nažalost prisiljena boraviti u svom stanu kao svom jedinom ‘domu’. Zahvaljujući crtanju mogu malo pobjeći iz njega u različite prostore s poznatom atmosferom. Iako raspoloženje koje prenosim odražava usamljenost i dosadu, ovo smatram vrlo korisnim razdobljem za umjetnički razvoj i više od toga.”

Dnevnik samoizolacije, fragment, 2020.

„Serija ‘Koji je danas dan’ predstavlja kratki dnevnik samoizolacije u kojem sam ilustrirala svoj osobni proces prilagodbe u pandemiji u trajanju od gotovo mjesec dana. Počeo je kao sveučilišni zadatak, a pretvorio se u jednu od najterapeutskijih aktivnosti kojima sam se bavila ovih mjeseci.

Dnevnik se sastoji od dva dijela. U prvom odgovaram na pitanje ‘Gdje sam?’ i u njemu se uglavnom odražavaju psihološke promjene koje je uzrokovala nova i daleko previše različita stvarnost u četiri zida u kojima smo se preko noći našli zarobljeni. U drugom dijelu odgovaram na pitanje ‘Gdje bih željela biti?’ i nostalgično ilustriram male, nekoć uobičajene želje koje nam se stalno prikradaju u misli u ovoj situaciji.”
