Dimitra Stavropoulou

I had only few days to settle in the city of Barcelona. I had found my house and I started to go to my new university .

The last days we were listening the news about the bad situation of China and Italy due to the corona virus 19.We hadn’t thought how close to us ,could be this situation .

One day was announced in the television that all the schools should be closed …few days after the next announcement was that we should stay at home .We had the possibility to go out only to visit  the supermarket or the pharmacy. But the numbers of the infected people started to rise day by day .

These days during the quarantine I passed most of my time sketching and photographing . These days my best friend was my terrace .From there I could see the city from above and live inside it again  through my memories .

I liked to observe the balconies, the details that testifying  moments of the life of the people.

Some days after I found an announcement of the embassy of Greece about a repatriation flight .Realizing the difficult situation of Spain I decided to return to my country.

During our arrival in Greece they said that we should pass some days of obligatory quarantine at a hotel in the center of Athens .

There each person had one single room and specific instructions thought photocopies of how we must to act during this quarantine and everything about the facilities and the food distribution schedule.

Through my daily routine in the hotel I started to taking photos of my environment, what I had around me what I could see from my window .My conversations with my friends and the photos that we were sharing in this period ,made me decide to start to collect photos from  people from different parts of the world. Photos that they wanted to share, so as to saw a part of their daily routines, their environments and express their thoughts.

This project seperates in two books .
