The year 2020
A portrait of a night shift in the Emergency Department of Padua Hospital, one of the largest university hospitals in Italy: an healthcare worker moving within the COVID-area of the Emergency Department, alone like in a "bubble of light". That's a place that never sleeps surrounded by a sleeping city, a small spot of light in the dark. But this image primarily aims to be a psychological portrait of the consequences that in the year 2020 the difficult fight against pandemic has brought to healthcare workers and in general to all people in the world: loneliness and isolation.
