I am a mother.  This photograph is one of a series of images documenting rare moments of solitude salvaged during lockdown. Here, in these still moments, I pause, breathe and appreciate the small details of my world; the play of light, wilting petals, and the beauty of time shared reflected in what remains. Each image is a shard of solitude, a breath taken amidst the chaos. Together they represent beauty and isolation in a world grown small but often overwhelming in which I too am reflected in what remains.

Clown Balloon - This picture is part of a series called 'Train'.  I took these pictures during the pandemic through the graffitied windows of the regional trains coming in and out of Barcelona.  The series is about the asphyxiation that is going on in the world, pandemic or otherwise. In this particular picture there is the clown, representing the majority of political leadership in the world.  Also there is the hope, the rising balloon, not immediately apparent but central and represents the rise of new thinking.

A New World - This picture is part of a series called 'Train'.  I took these pictures during the pandemic through the graffitied windows of the regional trains coming in and out of Barcelona.  The series is about the asphyxiation that is going on in the world, pandemic or otherwise.  In this picture there is a masked commuter hardly visible amongst the artistic chaos of the graffiti.  It is a comment on our direction as a species and the cyclical nature of calmness and chaos.

How did we experience the isolation and the unknown during this period? What was revealed behind closed doors and in anonymity for each of us? 

This image is taken from a series that portrays the human in its most ordinary, yet perfectly dramatic form. In short, the banal and the grandiose in the same frame!

The pandemic brought our lives to a temporary standstill, which for many of us was a time of forced self reflection. In this time I started thinking about my role in humanity and our role as humanity on this planet. We are growing almost exponentially. Our actions on this blue marble are increasingly impacting the global ecosystem that we depend on and putting the climate and numerous other species at risk. 

Let's pause for a moment of contemplation...
 
We are probably not the virus. But do we behave like one?

I wanted to portray something we were all experiencing: the weirdness of time in quarantine. To show the slow-but-speedy repetition of hours which turned into days, months, and eventually a year, I created stop-motion loops of objects, memories, and audio-visual highlights from my time quarantining in Switzerland. Food, nature, photography, art, documentaries, and music kept me sane and helped time slow down and fly by. This short film is a love letter and an examination of a very strange year.

‘The Loss of the Beautiful Game’ explores the sense of loss experienced by a cross section of football supporters from the area of Cumnock, Ayrshire due to the negative impact caused by the global pandemic of 2020/2021. It is evident that this town, steeped in a history of socialism, solidarity and a sense of community, still carry on with these traditions. 

The current supporters of Cumnock Juniors Football Club display a form of community spirit and camaraderie. The football club is an essential part of community life in the town, and brings a sense of belonging to the supporters. 

As Jock Stein rightly said, “football without the fans is nothing”.

They tell a story of reflection, hope and perseverance, respectively. Every year since 2003 there has been a Christmas concert performed by the Brighton Festival Chorus, this was not possible at the end of 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions and therefore the performance was streamed into our living rooms. This is an image of my TV as the performance took place.

Hysteria is image number four of the series 'Lockdown Circus'. As we came across the pandemic and entered lockdown, we experienced a totally different scenario to how our lives normally proceed and how we function within our own built structures. I was interested in the surreality of it and the creative ways of coping as we moved through different phases - and we still are! In May 2020 my best friend, my partner and I created a micro version of a surreal queer family circus world in our back garden. These self portraits and portraits explore personal and political themes, both literal and metaphorical, while we were also using this for ourselves as an escape from the reality and frustration of our confinement. Hysteria is a self portrait that embodies a range of emotions between ridiculousness and absolute desperation.

Graduating from Sunderland University in 1986 my parents are two members of the Class of ’86. Inspired by my parents’ collections of photographs from their university years, this project is a characterisation of my parents, their university friends I know today and students from their courses whom I have never known but have seen pictured and heard described.
I chose to create a range of portraits depicting these people, playing heavily on stereotypical imagery commonly portrayed in Western television and cinema, and I hope that viewers will recognise some of the people in their own lives and from their experiences.

Captured in Kentish Town, London on 19 May 2020 during the first wave of the global COVID-19 pandemic. I noticed this space helmet looking out onto the street while riding past on my bike. It felt very surreal and made me think how not too long ago space exploration was unimaginable. That feeling seemed appropriate for what was happening in the world, and how no one could have imagined we would be hit by a deadly pandemic and all of London and the world would shut down. The space helmet and face mask are both symbolic of moments in history.

When we see pieces of ourselves reflected in the world, we can believe that those parts are true. We believe what we see. If we are denied memory and nostalgia because our archives don’t exist, then we are denied a part of the human experience. For a long time, this has been the reality for queer people; we were forced to find our stories between the lines and in the shadows. 

Now, queer image makers stand in powerful positions as they lay down the beginnings of our archive. We found power between those lines and learned that imagining things into existence is possible.
 
I feel responsibility as a queer artist to contribute to the archive by creating images of queerness that are honest, hopeful, and that extend beyond the moment of capture. Photography is an accounting of life that takes as long as life itself, and through it I create evidence that we are taking up time and space.

We were stuck inside the walls of our houses, we were without any aim for the future, we were bored. Boredom marked the pendulum between action and non-action. As there was no fatigue, idleness decided to offer us the opportunity to get to know and to enjoy it without wanting anything in return except time. Idle “father of vices” or Idle “sweet doing nothing”? Whatever it was, whatever it is, it did us good.

Leal's ongoing series, "Limbo: Apolline Renditions & Dionysian Mementos", embodies a modern renaissance as it navigates a journey of the "in-between". Plucking moments influenced by a lucid dreamscape, this analog image was captured during a 2,000 mile road trip in an effort to see family from a distance in September of 2020. Through these anthropomorphized dinosaurs, Leal reflects on memories from similar childhood voyages from the Midwest to South Texas. She saw herself in the small lizard looking up at the kind of love that felt so grandiose as a child, and still is even from afar.

I had quite a strange experience just before lockdown. I went to one of my favorite meditation and yoga retreats near my home in Queenstown named Aro Ha (the Maori for love), and I had some amazing deep sessions. One of them centred around the heart and the idea of being alone or being worthy of not-being-alone. It was quite wonderful and therapeutic, and I came out of it quite excited to engage with a lot of other people and stop being such a hermit. Well, just as that tricky universe continues to throw us curveballs, lockdown came into the present scene so I was forced to be alone for even longer. It seems the cycle of being alone and together are two sides of the same coin, and you can't have one without the other as they are a reflection of the same truth.

Play Spiritual Successor CRPG

Spiritual Successor CRPG (as my individual contribution to the collaborative project spur.world) is a web-browser 3D game, using interactive mechanics common in late 90s CRPG (computer role-playing game) design to explore memory, social time, the exploitation of nostalgia and the agency of its players. In the work, you assume the role of an archetypal spirit and can navigate an open map of 9 zones, each of which is home to a branching hypertext experience. These hypertexts allow the player to narratively navigate through a memory and choose to interact with it using ‘mnemonic abilities’ that are empowering, overly sentimental, reductionist or cannibalistic, with the ramifications of these choices being felt visually and mechanically in the map as it evolves depending on your actions. The concluding form of the map and tone of the game has countless permutations, and is likely to be somewhat unique for everyone who experiences the work. The different abilities/ angles with which to observe each memory use terminology borrowed from online media criticism, and the memories themselves are written from personal experience, as it intersects with British mythology, various specific international symbols and other observed synchronicities. The Mabinogion, UFOs, Tsukumogami and Glastonbury Tor all make appearances. With Spiritual Successor CRPG, I wanted to use the interactive medium of gaming to afford audiences immersive, personal and agential experiences of the work, while making something accessible and structurally imaginative in an online format for audiences during the ongoing pandemic. It is a search backward in time, outside of time, and deliberately unsure of its intentions.

Flame 2.0 is a Zoom streamed 360 digital-physical AV performance presented by Anna Nazo’s avatar ‘α Phoenicis (Ankaa)’. The work involves spoken word poetry co-written with AI, sound and imagery that are computer generated (CGI) in real time from artist's brainwave data (EEG), and drone performance. 
Using a 360 degree imaging archive, the work engages in a live conversation with its earlier iterations including Flame, a performance for Stay LIVE At Home programme, organised by Performistanbul, Live-streamed on Zoom and Instagram @annanazo, Istanbul, Turkey / London, UK, 3rd May 2020, 0.20’; and Undulation, a performance for So remember the liquid ground, a public program in a partnership between the RCA CCA and Gasworks, curated by Benjamin Darby, Yoojin Kang, Akis Kokkinos, Angelina Li, Lenette Lua and Louise Nason, Online/ London, UK, 15th June 2020, 0.20’. Artist Commission, Gasworks & RCA CCA, London, UK, 2020.
The work reflects on themes of otherness, sensuousness and relationship with the digital in an age of isolation/ global pandemic. Through the notion of virtual flux, it looks at the way the material and the sensuous shapeshift and become the flow of digital matter, which enables sensuous encounters of multi-reality and ecology of multiplicity of selves.
