Locked Down

This project shows how I felt during the first lockdown in France, which lasted 3 months from March to June 2020.

I really felt overwhelmed by all the media and screens that were surrounding me. I was living to see the next "breaking news" or the latest "COVID-19 numbers". I was addicted to 24/7 media channels. I felt like a lab rat watched by all these screens that were ready to yell their latest #BreakingNews at me.

My state of mind was very unstable and changed every other day. That's why I made a series of photos where each picture shows a particular state of mind that I was in at the time: indifference, boredom, curiosity, obsession, oppression, surrendering, apathy, hope, freedom.

This is the story of how the media and screens locked me down, and how I broke free from my own obsession.
