covID

This project stems from the desire to identify the human being through a collection of objects. The result is a time capsule that can transmit and bring back our identity when this box will be found by our posterity. The collection of objects is based on the historical period in which we currently live: the era of Corona virus. There are 11 items in total: hand sanitizer, acool 90, medical gloves, face masks, covid certificate, covid test, vaccine, thermometer, computer, telephone and webcam. To accompany the objects, a folder containing photographs representing each item. On the back side of the photos a brief explanation of its common use in normal times and in the present day.

The project name “covID” indicates the word identity with the final capital letters (ID).

Below are some of the photographs and their decriptions as examples.
