The project started under the hard lockdown and until Italian easing restrictions of June 3th, in Milano, the capital of the worst-affected Italian region for Covid. It shows biological stains at night, in places considered to be at the highest risk of contagion for SARS-Cov-2.
We are trying to make the invisible, visible.

Our aim is to give an alternative visual representation of the fear for Covid contagion.
