EYES OF COVID. Popular and unpopular perspectives on the Covid-19 pandemic are mediated mostly through the gaze of mass media, which keeps the focus on protagonists discussing, explaining and dealing with the health crisis through Covid-19 / SARS-Cov-2: politicians, TV hosts, virologists, writers, epidemiologists, doctors, actors, policemen, journalists etc. but less on the common people, the ones who are most impaired by getting sick and enduring measures to contain the spread of the virus. This photographic series, an aesthetic arrangement of 270 photos taken directly from Italian TV programs (diverse talk shows and discussions or news on various channels) during 03-2020 till 10-2020 tries to make them speak without words. The collage attempts to condense erratic moments of this global crisis into one tableau vivant of eyes becoming abstract viewpoints. Many of them may be famous or known to the public, many may be only bystanders without a name and without a voice.
