photography, performing arts and pandemic: reinvention
 

Beyond documenting the emergence and development of on-line performing arts during the 2020 pandemic, this project aims to investigate and experiment creative photographic possibilities of this movement. 

 

When I came across the nefarious effects in the beginning of the 2020 pandemic on performing arts, I started questioning how this form of artistic expression would reinvent itself during confinement, social isolation and all the limitations in order to survive. This, consequently, led me to think about the course of performing arts photography, my passion. 

 

So, in May 2020, I started exploring within the limitations of my own confinement and social isolation, equipment, objects and resources I have at home, and using my notebook as an unusual stage and the internet and video communication apps as the scenery. 

 

Therefore, I created a virtual theater, through which I reinvented my craft as a performing arts photographer and my imagery, now called “screen photography” by friends I met on the on-line world on account of this project. 

 

Nowadays, I see these imagery aesthetics and possibilities: performing arts; events and shows; and photo shoot and portraits. Such as life and art, this project is in constant transformation, because creativity and exploration of new ideas never stop.
