This 6 minute film explores inequalities in the Covid-19 pandemic – including my own shielding, BAME inequalities, and the slaughter in care homes.
I’ve included some archive from the 1918 pandemic, created some specific new art, and included a few elements from the archive I have created of my own shielding. There’s more of the latter #isolationcreation on my instagram: @caromawer
For this documentary, I would like to express my special thanks to:
– Batool Yousefi
– Bellacouche: for creating a special photo of their gorgeous Leafcocoon soft wool coffin
– The Clayton Wood Team: for sharing images of their lovely burial grounds
– The Hutt Family
– Katie Edwards
– Roberto Rusconi : for confecting the sound of the door clanging shut
– Shyaam Caine: for letting me use parts of his art work in my Third Wave image
