The starting point consists of ten photographs taken by the participants in the project, whose task was to present their everyday life using instax photography. Photographs Researchers draw the common points between photography and the outgoing researcher’s activities, and propose to look at everyday life through the prism of time, space and attempts to mark their presence in the world through photography. The challenge that has been presented to the participants of the artistic activity becomes a metaphor for everyday life and the possibility of observing it in the light of home isolation imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
