CORONA VIENNA
My hometown Vienna during the Corona Crisis 2020. Total shutdown, Exit restriction, closed institutions, orphaned public squares and empty alleys. A deserted city wrapped in dreamlike landscapes unfolds above the ground and if you step six feet under, you enter a ghost-train public transport system.
Covid 19 changed it all.

Wien während der Corona Krise 2020. Kompletter Sperrzustand, Ausgangsbeschränkungen, geschlossene Institutionen, verwaiste öffentliche Plätze und einsame Gassen. Oberirdisch entfaltet sich eine menschenleere Stadt in traumähnliche Landschaften gehüllt. Betritt man den Untergrund wandert man im von allen Seelen verlassenen U Bahn-System.
Covid 19 hat alles verändert.
