6 FEET The last time I physically socialized was on the 16th March. My birthday was on the 31th March and the first one in quarantine. It made me think of the dying people who leave this life alone nowadays; in contrast to how they are born.

6 FEET about the times: Inspired by our current events in this time of self-isolation, social distancing and quarantine, I felt compelled to explore a bit deeper the notions of what confinement really means to each of us individually. I question how the degree of feeling isolated, locked in, confined, and blocked relate through the space and environment we are contained in. Hence, I experimented with various stages and degrees of confinement in my own house and surroundings, to gauge the intensity and feelings that project would evoke in myself and other viewers of these various situations through my visual documentation.

6 FEET As I am forced at home, 6 feet is too much for me at the moment. I don't even get to notice the 6 feet social distancing because I don't have the possibility to see people. And 6 feet makes me also think to many feet, to more persons, while at the moment I am isolated and alone.

6 FEET This is a piece I made during the first weeks of the pandemic lockdown in NYC. I was stuck at home, trying to comfort and homeschool my three children, worried about money, food, shelter, and germs. My son has very weak lungs, he has had pneumonia four times and has very bad asthma. There was definitely a sense of foreboding and panic in the air, ambulances were all over the neighborhood day and night. The piece is very shifting and nervous, quite appropriate for how I was feeling at the time.

6 FEET As a concept, it is human who adds meaning to art. In this case, art is something that exists together human being and is something that will be disappeared by the death of human being. Today, in the world imposed by global capitalism, people and art are dying together. Since our body is controlled with new technologies in our daily lives, we are living the last times of the independent human race. Those with knowledge and others… Humanity is struggling with climate change, nuclear war threats, migration and epidemic diseases. And will continue to… In this new digital age, the family needs to be protected and individuals should be get rid of consumption pathology. This is only possible with a healthy society, where even eating is an art. If we become a society that takes control of its own future, we can get out of this vortex. All we need is to get rid of our ego and be in unity and solidarity. For this, the society must have an organized structure. As a matter of fact, the welfare of social life will be realized by the society having a particular artistic culture. With independent people and art!

6 FEET “The pandemic has closed the theaters, turning them inside out. The audience is now costumed and playing unfamiliar parts while reacting to virtual echos from six feet away.”

6 FEET Visual Artist, designer, poet, musician and producer Theresa Joy Lorenzetti began taking photos 45 years ago with tendencies towards symbolism, surrealism and the avant-garde in ‘corporal expression’ and ‘visual storytelling’. Recently arrived in New Mexico to much delight and ...Frustration.

6 FEET A lot of my time during quarantine has been spent sitting by my window and looking at the people (or the lack thereof) passing by on the street below me. I’ve found the chair by the window to be a space for reflection and meditation, distanced from, yet connected with, the outside world. Playing with the idea of the perspective, this is a self-portrait, looking out from the window from a ladder and painting a new skyline, imagining myself a new view to look at.

6 FEET Searching through memory, as wind whistles across the ever-shifting desert, the sky opens to a panorama of emptiness. Alone, one, just one, me, manipulating a surface and marking the space I occupy, tiny visions result on bookpages -a measure of how tenuous is any organization or point of concurrence.

6 FEET I am a visual artist , based in Greece. I have studied Pedogogic Studies and Management Assistant. Over the years I was addicted to painting and photography. I had been attending the painting courses 'Divertissements of Fine Arts"as a student of D Maninis (2002_2016). Courses of Analog photography, Seminars of Fine Art Photography and ASFA photo courses were some of my favorite studies since 2012. Pieces of my work have been published in print, on line and in a plenty number of group exhibitions (2008_2018).

6 FEET My media is photography. The period of quarantine is recorded in my perception as the great void. Fear should not be the content.

6 FEET This work takes part in the trends of Land Art and performative art because this staging was created on site. I made a short film about one performance that I did in situ. This performance is represented by the sets that I created. The work explores the communicative signals that we associate to the danger. The color of the smoke put his code on our reception and invite to rethink the kindle effect until the total dissipation of the smoke. Moreover, the work refers to the sublime and the dangerous. The sublime provokes an effect of stupefaction, inspired by fear or astonishment.

6 FEET I'm Areti Alexandraki and photography is my way of being alone.

6 FEET The effect of isolation on the body, virtuality or becoming only virtual are subjects that as an artist have disturbed me the last few weeks of confinement. I am very interested in the new ways that we will invent to solve the use of the body and space in this confinement. The body as a vehicle of consciousness that is not limited to isolation but invents new ways of meaning and space that can be compressed or expanded depending on how we look at it. I live in northern Mexico and have been in quarantine for five weeks.
