Guligo Jia
by Guligo Jia from Beijing, China
Guligo Jia is a photographer and documentary filmmaker based in Beijing. She has been stranded in Nepal for five months during the lockdown, and she was even been in jail for three days for walking past by a youth-led protest and taking a few pictures. She's been back in Beijing since August, and she's working on the editing of her Lockdown to Lockup visual diary to keep a record of the state of mind during confinement and her adventure.
SELF-PORTRAITS: PHOTOGRAPHERS IN CONFINEMENT
Curated by Svetlana Bachevanova (USA/France)
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.
