Nina Riggio
by Nina Riggio from California, United States
This is a self-portrait of things that make up what I imagine to be my insides throughout the mandatory lockdown in the state of California. I'm quarantined at my partners grandma's home on the coast, where we just got our fishing licenses and have been eating things we are harvesting and growing. I've been drinking a lot of lemon water and feel a creative rebirth happening on this 26th year of my birth. This birthday was a lot different in that I spent it mostly alone.
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.
