Madrid - 102 days later
2020 MADRID QUARANTINE, 102 DAYS LATER
In March 2020, I spent 102 days alone locked in my apartment in a country far away.
Flat Packs
Ikea dreams that retrofit the retro kit
A mountain of plastic dreams lie broken by the door
Collect as garbage recycled in the morning
On the white walls hang the cheap prints from adventures long ago
Like that night when it all started, like those days when it rained
Lucky is the blue night, marching to the April rains
footnote: these four walls or behind closed doors - about the project which is work in progress
About these four walls, is an attempt to photograph myself inside the places I inhabit.
This is an extension of my travels around the world.
I have decided no matter simple, silly or contrived the images, to photograph myself inside the space. I hate being photographed so my challenge to myself is to discover myself in front of the camera.
