“SOS. I’m in a bit of a pickle....I‘m almost at the end of my degree and I have to present my final piece. Unfortunately, the project that I was intending to do is impossible due to the circumstances. I tried a couple of ideas but I'm not happy as they are missing the emotion and human factor so I have another idea which defines me more as an artist and the type of work I have executed in the past. but I need all your help BIG TIME..... here it goes..... I would like to compile a video art installation with glimpses of people’s life routine during this time of quarantine. Please, please, please, pretty please could you record 1 minute of your day. You don’t have to be in the video or you can include yourself and others too. (The audio doesn’t matter because I will take it out later) 1 minute video with your phones if possible landscape. You can do more than one and it will be great if you spread the word and collect more videos from other friends and family across the world. This is my e-mail”
