FROM CAMERAS AND STORIES - Usina del Arte
From Cameras and Stories was a collective group show organized by Usina del Arte, in which I also won the contest with my photo "Training in Quarantine", taken in 2020.
My photo “Training in Quarantine”, is part of a series of portraits that I took during the Covid-19 quarantine of the neighbours living in the buildings that I saw through the window of my apartment. As I was at home all day, I began to observe what was happening around me. This photo shows the historical moment that we had to live, where the space of our house became a space for work, education, virtual meeting, leisure, sports; everything often reduced to four walls, the balcony or hopefully the terrace, like the woman in the photo.
Perhaps also, as a result of a difficult situation that I had to live with a crazy neighbour living next door, I needed some kind of escape, that I found it looking through my window.
