About the work
During lockdown, a dancer moves through the empty streets of Amsterdam. His body evokes the invisible virus: a ghost taking hold of public space. The painted face refers to Día de los Muertos and remembering those who have died. The complete series comprises eighteen photographs. The six works shown here are a selection from that series.
