'London in Lockdown', 256pp, hardback, 170 x 220mm. Written by Jilke Golbach and published in collaboration with the Museum of London.
24 photographers capture a city gripped by Covid.
2020 brought a seismic break with normality. For those living in urban centres, lockdown made us wonder if city life as we knew it was gone forever. The images in this book express the anxiety, the love, the boredom, the tranquillity and the reconnection with nature that isolation brought. Uncanny but often uplifting, they show London at a defining moment in its history – telling a story that will resonate far beyond the pandemic.
This book features the work of:
Olivia Arthur, Peter Dench, Chris Dorley-Brown, Giles Duley, Philipp Ebeling, Sophia Evans, Lydia Goldblatt, Olivia Harris, Will Hartley, Grey Hutton, Celine Marchbank, Roy Mehta, Mimi Mollica, Spencer Murphy, Simon Norfolk, Morgana Secco, Andy Sewell, Christian Sinibaldi, Hannah Starkey, Alys Tomlinson, Joanna Vestey, Sophie Wedgwood, Greg White and Jemima Yong.
Jilke Golbach is Curator of Photographs at the Museum of London.
