Goethe Institute Frankfurt — Covids Metamorphasis. Publication.
In May 2020, in the midst of the first big lockdown in Germany, Prof. Dr. Bernd Herzogenrath had the idea of conceiving an international arts project. A 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 sign for copy(right) – with the larger idea to create ‘positive antibodies,’ so that art could attempt to become a ‘healing force’. … The project ended with 19 sequences (Covid 19), played by 133 international artists.
Studio Watson Memić designed the book, the media carrier and slipcase to document the outcome of this ambitious project.
