This time last year, photographer Davide Mandolini was travelling through Italy, Malta, Taiwan and Bratislava, collecting photos for his upcoming projects. A month ago, however, Davide had to put his projects on hold due to Italy’s state of emergency. These days, he spends his days indoors, creating archives of his photos from times passed. He tells us, “I was working through my photos when I realized that I had a reasonable number of photos which could become a series”. What started out as a personal project about society’s hidden realities–Davide’s enquiry into what's behind the surface–Covered is now more timely than ever. Through his lens, we see the world at a standstill, a photographic premonition of life during a pandemic–unfinished construction, blankets of plastic and silent landscapes.
