RE-CREATING NORMALITY DURING PANDEMIC. A VISUAL ESSAY ON THE ADAPTATION TO THE PERIOD OF ISOLATION IN ROMANIA

Summary/Abstract: During the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, people from all over the world have struggled to adapt, to re-create normalcy in isolation, and even to survive. Changes in public spaces have been illustrated in various visual essays. We have built a visual essay that highlights the adaptive changes occurred in the private environment and the ways in which the participants in our research tried to create a new normalcy during the state of emergency in Romania. We collected data in the form of visual diaries that materialized in an archive of 380 photographs, illustrative for the isolation during the pandemic. We have selected 10 photos that tell, in the form of a visual essay, the story of adapting and re-creating a normalcy in the private environment, at a time when social life has become dangerous and people have spent most of their time at home.
