New Normalism is a term that changes almost every time we use it. At the time of the Open Call in April, New Normalism was part of an idealistic narrative of change. Over the months, we’ve learned that Covid-19 will be around for a while. Meanwhile, New Normalism has been claimed by both left and right, without giving proper directions of what it should or could be. In the fourteen selected One Minutes, the confusion of the pandemic is tangible, it is hard to get a grip on something so vast and still unknown. But together, and placed in associative order, they make for a clear voice. Images reveal what words cannot contain.
