Experiencing Interruptions?

Astronaut / 2x2m

Video Poetry: Poem Astronaut - 2x2 m / Long slam poem divided into two gifs - 20 / 20 squares. Poem about pandemic experiences and how it affects the daily lives of some of us, but more how it affects our internal landscapes of emotions. / Arranged in 40 squares to represent 40 days of quarantine. Practice from the 14th century for ships arriving in Venice from infected ports during the time of the plague. / 2x2m square represents a recommended physical distance as a safety measure, so it can visually symbolize our private space and individual in the middle of it in a form of words.
