The situation created by the Covid-19 virus results in the vacancy of previously busy spaces. The world stops, people stay at home. A kind of error occurred in life, the emptiness of this special situation. The problem was caused by human activity. The pandemic situation is in connection with our way of life, traveling, globalisation, trading, which connects distant places. Human activity not only creates a network of connections between countries, but also results in the exploitation of our planet’s energy resources. As a result of frozen globalisation, carbon-dioxid emission have dropped drastically, and our biological footprint has declined in a short time. Empty spaces are a witness of our overworked, energy-wasting lives, and the reduction of these errors shows that we need to change our way of life globally, otherwise situations like this will become more common.

Explanation of the series:
At the end of February, I visited the ARCO Madrid fair in Madrid, and right after i returned to Budapest the epidemic has become very serious. My artist friend from Madrid sent photos of the empty city, which i has developed further and the first piece of the series was created. Subsequently, I received photos from many parts of the world through a tender. From artists who helpd to continue the series in a co-production, this creatied a world-wide work that symbolises the collaboration of artists and at the same time draws attention to the defects in the functioning of our society, which we must reevaluate to avoid a similar situation.
