On Hold...
Suddenly, one day, we found out Covid-19 had arrived to change our lives.
Very soon, most cities were empty and silent.
Many were fortunate enough to be home when the pandemic hit.
Others were not and got stranded far away. Some people had to stay on the streets, because they had nowhere else to go.
Many got infected and died; there was applause and “cacerolazos”; demonstrations for and against.
Loneliness took hold and each of us reacted the best we could.
Luckily, art exists!
The artist created works based on their experiences, which resonate with our own.
Some have a tragicomic, ironic approach, while others resorted to taking refuge in their own fantasies.
Many came out to witness what was going on to better understand and process what was happening to us: waiting, life on hold.
All of them show an aspect of what affected us, as we
Accept the uncertainty of its demise.
