Adelaide in Isolation: A selection of photography
Photography by Mia Maric.
PHOTOGRAPHY & WORDS BY MIA MARIC.
ARTIST STATEMENT:
In the weeks of quarantine, spaces that were once bustling with the sounds of chatter and footsteps became still and quiet. Almost like a missing piece of a puzzle, the absence of humanity became startlingly visible throughout the streets of Adelaide and beyond. Behind my 35mm camera, I was able to capture moments that, a year ago, we wouldn’t have understood: an entire city bored in their homes, empty streets lined with even emptier cafes, and the cheapest petrol seen in years but with nowhere to drive.
I hope, like me, you’ll see the irony in my photographs and, when this is all finally over, it will be something we can laugh about together.
