SINE DIE (*without seeing the end) A photographic chronicle, conceived as a
line, to document this historic moment. An artistic, plural response
and collective to remember the common time of the pandemic and the
confinement. As soon as the lockdown was announced in France on March 16, 2020, the
photographers from the MYOP agency felt the need to document this
historical event. During its entire duration, 56 days, they
photographed the territories where they were confined and constrained,
attentive to the impact of Covid-19 on their environments. Every day,
images were posted on their Instagram feed, forming a fresco of 465
photographs reproduced in extenso on the back of the leporello. From this corpus they have
extracts 56 images, one per day, redrawing the chronology of these days at
the suspended horizon. Michel Poivert freely drew inspiration from it to write a
series of photographic anti-legends.
