Days in the distance' by Boglarka Varga, MA Printmaking at Camberwell College of Arts for Walls in Online Places Vol.2
‘Days in the Distance' is a visual diary that I started at the onset of self-isolation on the 20 March, with my 4-year-old daughter and husband in Watford.
The title suggests not only the social distancing, but the altered perception of time and space between bodies, places and moments during our seclusion. The lockdown placed our daily lives under a magnifying glass, which amplified the distance between loved ones but also the feelings of love, care and longing.
The domestic scenes, daily routines and playful shadows captured our ongoing existence between the four walls of our rented house, amounts to a digital time capsule. ‘Days in the Distance’ is a re-imagined family album, accommodating everyday snapshots alongside moments of celebration and loss.

To somehow reduce ‘The Distance’ and try to overcome the absence of the workshops and my peers, I dusted off my Polaroid camera and started to shoot images on expired films while thinking of university colleagues and friends. These images were later posted with the quote: “Fail we may, sail we must.” (Andrew Weatherall).
