The year 2020 has been a year like no other. Wherever we live in the world, when the pandemic took hold we were thrust into a completely new experience of life. The year became a time of unprecedented change; a time when our connections with the world and with each other had to be reimagined, almost overnight, into a completely ‘new normal’.
Although the original concept for “Vision 2020” was quite different from what it ultimately became in this year of Covid, it has instead become something far more revealing about the conscious mind of each contributing photographer. The collective portfolios, presented together as a single corpus, present a truly remarkable legacy for the benefit of future generations. A legacy that is a unique record of how 14 photographers from Contemporary Group North connected with the world during the year of the coronavirus.
