The Pandemic: What Covid Pictures Tell Us

  • Photographer
    Martin OrdeƱana

Testimony of a difficult and historically decisive moment for everyone's future. These images are selected from a series of photographs taken during the first lockdown in 2020. Images that will remain in the memory of a community that was able to overcome isolation and face forward. Maybe with a smile that, in its powerful vitality, pops out from under a mask and smells like life and the desire to carry on!

I was born and raised in Buenos Aires and since my childhood I breathed the atmosphere of this metropolis full of stimulus and different cultures. I alternate my work as a photographer to the research of visual arts. These activities are complementary to my fondness for images. As I move from one scene to another, I let my imagination wonder around and discover a story behind every face and every movement of a body, of a scenery or the city where I am living or visiting. With the help of my camera I try to tell how I see the world, free of any prejudice and conditioning.
