The Corona crisis was not only a pandemic, but also a global shared experience.

In those years, we had been sharing similar fears and hopes on all five continents of the Earth, we have experienced similar restrictions.

Not even the two World Wars gave the world's population such a shared experience.

 

Our life story is retrievable in the body: every scar, healed broken bone, the entire body memory contains events of our past.

The body can be regarded as an archive in which traces of individual and collective memories are engraved.

 

During the first lockdown, I collected my fallen hair every day from my comb.

Starting on the first day of the lockdown in Switzerland, March 20, 2020, an archive grew that shows my body memory.

But they are not just my personal memories, but also the collective ones, those of the Corona crisis.

No comments are needed, except for the date.

We experienced each day the lockdown in a different way, but involuntarily deeply connected by the events of the pandemic.
