Empty spaces, rescue efforts, explanatory models, learning processes – and above all, people working tirelessly to ensure the provision of basic services for all. In the spring of 2020, a global pandemic hit humanity with unprecedented force, challenging all of its supposed securities and seemingly perfect routines. Set against the backdrop of the city of Vienna with its roughly two million inhabitants, THE STANDSTILL documents the Covid-19 crisis over a period of two years.
