STILL HERE – Moments in Isolation
STILL HERE – Moments in Isolation
International publishing house DISTANZ and creative house TRIADIC presents 'STILL HERE – Moments in Isolation', a book of over 100 still life contributions by artists, creatives, thinkers and innovators from around the world, reacting on the COVID-19 global pandemic and subsequent state of confinement. The project uses the classical genre of still life as a way to archive both the individual as well as the collective human experience. Submissions date between March 2020 and April 2021, spanning across six continents.
This unique visual diary will come to life through images, texts, and live video, music, dance, and opera AR components that can be activated using the DISTANZ App. Alongside this, the publication includes an essay by novelist and art critic Jennifer Higgie, as well as a custom bookmark with a unique scent attached to it by renowned olfactory artist and smell researcher Sissel Tolaas.
TRIADIC will be donating 100% of their proceeds from the book to Performa, a New York City based multidisciplinary arts organization.
