Photography in the Time of Covid

Judy Fiskin | The Getty
Five years after the Covid-19 pandemic started, a rotation of photographs at the Getty Museum reflects on a time when the world shut down, but new ways of seeing emerged
 

The global health crisis that began in early 2020 disrupted every aspect of our lives, changing how we worked, learned, traveled, shopped, socialized, and relaxed.

 

This selection from the Museum’s Photographs Collection presents just nine works made during the COVID-19 pandemic by four artists, all with ties to Los Angeles. I wanted to see how lockdown may have encouraged these artists to find different ways to work.
