The Memory Pandemic Instagram

Friederike Windel

For her final project, Fredereike took a different road and showed us little fragments of this intense and condensed experience of the Covid-pandemic. Replicating Instagram aesthetics, she created a “Fake Instagram Collage” to fashion her own corner of the internet through five murals that portray lapses of different aspects of her life during the pandemic:

Nourishment

Ritual and Prayer

Joy and Grief

Spaces

Protests
