Still Life

When we are in chaos and anxiety, the urge to do something becomes stronger. So to speak, the boredom of being locked inside during the pandemic prompted this new photobook project.

When photographers are constrained by reality, or caught in a battle with boredom and anxiety, Same Paper couldn’t help it wonder, without the trigger points of taking photographs, where would their lens go? Will ‘photography’ still happen? They invited artists they had been closely watching to take part. In this project, an intervention has been imposed onto their freely selected topics, each photographer needs to create their stories indoors using limited equipment. As a result, the photographic collective Still Life includes 13 works from different photographers around the world.
