My partner, our cat, and I share a 44-square-metres flat. We move around like fish in an aquarium, slowly dancing and constantly navigating moods. During long hours, I look at the clouds on the other side of the glass. The sky changes as often as my emotions. This aquarium is our small sea, green and blue, orange and gold. Here, I feel protected.
Some the morning I enjoy staying in bed with Juan a little longer than usual. He hugs me and we breathe together. I feel that the outside world and its reality are far away and I calm down.
Little rainbows sparkle around the living room in the morning makes me think there can be magic even in a Pandemic quarantine.
SELF-PORTRAITS: PHOTOGRAPHERS IN CONFINEMENT
Curated by Svetlana Bachevanova
A collection of self-portraits made by photojournalists from five continents during the unprecedent lockdown due to the corona virus pandemic.
Photographers are people on the road, living to document the lives of others.
Constrained by the lockdown, many of them had their first experience of being still long enough to begin seeing and understanding small details about who they are, their lifestyles and values, that were overshadowed while they were busy. These self-portraits express their experience.
This is a unique collection of self-portraits from some of the best lenses in photojournalism at an historic moment.
Photographers in Confinement is a project in process and I welcome additional submissions from photojournalists at svetlana@fotoevidence.com
I am looking for potential exhibition partners in the USA and abroad.
Svetlana Bachevanova is a founder and publisher of FotoEvidence, long time photojournalist and curator.
