Coronavirus' Footprints in Vienna, March 2020
When the Austrian Government decided quite early on, Mid March, to lock down the city / country, restrictions quickly resulted in closed restaurants and once-bustling museums, in eerie stillness of public spaces, recently emptied of the crowds they were built for. Unique moments though – to be there alone. An atmosphere of surprise, quietness and fear thought, announces big changes in short – and longer-term - future. People started hoarding products, which they consider key to maintaining routine life. Society seemed getting paralyzed and emptiness proliferated like the virus.
