HOW DID THE COVID-19 BREAKDOWN AFFECT YOUR WORK AS AN ARTIST?
Covid-19 affected my work in a sense that for few weeks many resources (like studio, models, locations, etc.) were not available. But that has a kind of positive aspect: with limited resources you need to be more creative by using and twisting the available resources.
HAS YOUR WAY OF THINKING/PRODUCING ART CHANGED? IN WHAT WAY?
As photographer, I easily focus on external resources. So my way of thinking is now changed in some ways as I try to keep this spirit of using more what I have in hands. The Covid – 19 changed my way to see things in general. Less consumerism I would say. And that also applies to ART.
