Description
A publication based on Pandemic Objects, an editorial project that compiles and reflects on objects that have taken on new meaning and purpose during the Covid-19 pandemic.
During times of pandemic, a host of everyday often-overlooked 'objects' are suddenly charged with new urgency. Toilet paper becomes a symbol of public panic, a forehead thermometer a tool for social control, convention centres become hospitals, while parks become contested public commodities. By compiling these objects and reflecting on their changing purpose and meaning, the project aims to paint a unique picture of the pandemic and the pivotal role objects play within it.
