Quarantine Diary

An original idea born during the total lockdown in my city that resulted from the Covid 19 pandemic.
A conversation with myself. A conflict. A debate.
Acknowledging my fears and self-criticism, expressing unfulfilled dreams and wishes, recording my frame of mind day after day, every single day.
With a touch of exaggeration, surrealism, even theatricality.
The incentive was to be truthful and authentic, unaffected by the need to impress an “audience”.
This quarantine diary was presented on my personal instagram account and ended on May 4, the last day of the lockdown.
