Goethe Institute Frankfurt — Covids Metamorphasis.
Publication.
In May 2020, amid the first big lockdown in Germany, Prof. Dr Bernd Herzogenrath had the idea of conceiving an international art project related to the idea of infection but also based on the pun on Covid/Ovid, with the C in parentheses – (c) – so that it resembled the symbol for copy(right) – with the larger idea to create ‘positive antibodies,’ so that art could attempt to become a ‘healing force’. The project resulted in 19 sequences (Covid 19), played by 133 international artists.
Watson Memić designed the book, the media carrier and the slipcase to document the outcome of this ambitious project.
