WE ARE OPEN NOWThese pictures were made on daily walks during and after the lockdowns and restrictions caused by COVID-19. The title is taken from a sign displayed in the boarded-up window of an off license (accompanied by deflated balloons) and captures the confusion, misdirection and frustration of this "unprecedented" period in our shared history.
We seem to be in a deserted city bearing only the mysterious traces of human activity. Arrows indicate non-existent destinations, a wire finger points at nothing in particular, windows are bricked up. Utopia is closed. What's around the corner? Are we really open now? Change may be "Coming Soon", but don't hold your breath. |
