A journey through culture made phantom, forced behind closed doors – locked up because of Covid-19 restrictions in the third wave of infections in Switzerland, where shops were open, but all theatres, museums, galleries and performance spaces were closed. IT was an unexpectedly positive story – that artists continued to create, and often differently, the situation providing an extra stimulus, the lack of audience – except the photographer – a means to intense reflection and new work.
