Oh Canada - Oh Covid

Picture
Oh Canada - Oh Covid documents the opening days of the coronavirus pandemic in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Hand processing and tinting/toning techniques transform images of deserted streets and parks into illusory archival footage, shifting an unimaginable present into an unreal past. 

Photographed on 16mm black and white film and hand-developed in the filmmaker's bathroom using a DIY developer made from timothy hay and Vitamin C supplements, the film's rich colours are created through hand-toning the film using concentrated drink mixes sourced from the local grocery store.
