Colourful Silence

A mini exhibition held at the Cucurucu bar marked the opening of Munich after the quarantine caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Series consists of 3 photos taken in various locations and during the times when the idea of lockdown and social distancing felt unimaginable. The Series presents photos of abandonment, emptiness and solitude. Photos were exhibited outside of the bar since sitting inside has been still forbidden. Positioning photos in this way underlined the contrast between the situation where “normal” activities like going to the bar or travelling became unfeasible overnight. As a part of this project, I did a series of postcards with one of the images from the exhibition. Idea was to make a connection with friends and family during the social distancing times - even though travelling and visiting dear ones was not possible, postcards have reached unreachable destinations.
