Sine die

Ever since the lockdown was announced in France, on March 16, 2020, photographers of agence MYOP felt the need to document this historic event. For the whole 56 days duration, highly sensitive to the impact of covid-19 on their environments, we photographed the parts of the country where we were locked in and restrained. Every day, the pictures we shot were posted on our Instagram account, putting together a line of 465 images reproduced in extenso on the back of the Leporello. From this corpus we have selected 56 pictures, one per day, creating a new chronology of this period where the horizon disappeared. Michel Poivert has drawn free inspiration from them to write a serie of antilégendes.
