A collaborative text between poet Violetta Leigh and analog photographer Yannick Pereira Bajard. It started as a project during the pandemic, as a way for two friends to connect, create, distract, and move forward.
The majority of Leigh’s poems are odes to gestural moments of human intimacy – ‘borrowing’ a drag of someone’s cigarette, holding hands in a cab – lost during a period of turning away, as we distanced to keep each other safe. There is a four line stanza to represent each month of the pandemic, from March 2020 to the time of publication.
Pereira Bajard’s photographs document urban centres empty of their people. Often at night, the photographs depict barren geography: emerald halogen limning the linear planes of a concrete parking garage, flash outlines four empty chairs abandoned outside of an industrial building, and streetlights illuminate empty sidewalks, glowing golden for no one.
