Plymouth, Paused (A Zine about the Covid-19 Lockdown in Plymouth)

This is a zine that grew from my daily walks around Plymouth during the spring lockdown.

At that time we could only leave the house once a day for exercise. There were no cars on the roads, everything was closed and we weren't even allowed to sit down in the park. It was an unprecedented situation and I wanted to record my experience of Plymouth, UK in lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic.

This is a collage of photographs and text in a cut and paste style, layering overheard speech, memories, and observations of nature, the sea, and Plymouth's brutalist architecture.
