How does one relate to a pandemic? Since the second lockdown, I noticed that my emotional spectrum started to get more and more disturbed, because for me so many important pillars fell away. For example, on a rainy afternoon to the museum or the arthouse cinema and then return home enriched. A conversation with a stranger about what we saw and to find a resonance or to hear a refreshing opinion. At times beaten down by all the negative news reports, I decided to approach people at a fixed point in Zandvoort with the aforementioned question. I made a portrait and then wrote a short story. That worked wonderfully well, the pandemic sometimes seemed to be an abstract work of art that we marveled at, sometimes with resonance, sometimes with a refreshing opinion, sometimes neither.
