Isolation is a collaborative video installation inspired by the current global pandemic COVID-19. 
Four artists, wearing pyjamas adopted as the new quarantine fashion, are self-isolating in their home-studios, each located in different parts of the world. 
On a white wall, the artists mark the passing of time while being constantly monitored by their mobiles.  The mobile was selected as it has become the media of choice, being the principal tool used while under quarantine.  The only concern is that the mobile could be a double-edged sword.  While enabling us to overcome our isolation, it could also undermine our liberty and possibly open the doors to mass surveillance.  
Could this be the end of freedom as we know it? 
Like the mythological Penelope who self-exiled in her bedchamber and endlessly wove a funeral shroud to deter her enemies, the artists are intertwining the various threads of pain, death, hope and gratitude into a complex composition in response to the quarantine. 
Comparing the artists’ experience of self-isolation with their own, visitors are invited to reflect on the passage of time while under quarantine and the ethics of surveillance when it is used to save lives and come to terms with their own experience. 
The visitor will see a screen showing the whole performance on a loop recorded by mobiles, and therefore revealing the artists were actually drawing together the silhouette of the invisible enemy: the coronavirus.
