Through The Screen

Humans have always had an unquenchable need to connect with one another; whether it be through pigeon messages, notes in bottles, telegraphs, phone calls or through the internet and social media, we have always found a way to stay in touch. With the outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the Winter of 2020, spreading like wild fire predominantly through touch, killing thousands and causing a global pandemic. With no immediate vaccine for this virus, the world was plunged into social distancing in other to halt its spread. This meant that the fabric of human nature; to physically connect, was also being attacked.

Through The Screen, Investigate’s all people around the world during these unprecedented times, showing how they are dealing with the new guidelines to socially distance, work from home and in some worse cases, quarantine. Using technology and the internet as a means to  connect with these individuals, the work creates and captures the images of these persons in their self quarantine and social distancing spaces.
