Isolation Diary – Alex McDonald – video – 04:59

Isolation Diary was shot over a period of a few weeks in March and April 2020. It all feels rather long ago now.

There is very little anyone can say about that period that others haven’t already said or thought themselves – this video is only my iteration of that time. Perspectives seemed to be collapsing in on themselves, and everything became re-cast by protective layers of glass – the television screen, the
mirror, the window, the camera.
