April 2020: Above the Earth - A Monochrome Reflection of Moscow's Urban Isolation (Maxim Makunin, Documentary, Black and White) Amidst the global pandemic and ensuing lockdowns, the world came to a standstill. In Moscow, Russia, the once bustling streets were eerily quiet, as people were urged to stay at home and avoid contact with others to curb the spread of COVID-19. This photograph, titled 'April 2020: Above the Earth,' captures the desolate beauty of the city during this time of isolation. Taken by Russian photographer Maxim Makunin, the image portrays a stark contrast between the solidity of the urban structures and the ephemeral nature of human presence. The towering buildings, with their intricate patterns and toned facades, stand tall and unyielding against the backdrop of the clear, blue sky. The repetition of the windows, doors, and balconies creates a rhythmic, almost musical, composition. Yet, the image is not devoid of human presence. A lone figure, clad in a heavy coat and holding a cigarette, can be seen standing behind a curtain, peering out at the empty streets below. The tendrils of smoke from the cigarette mingle with the smog and pollution that hangs heavy in the air, creating a haunting, otherworldly atmosphere. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the paradoxical nature of our existence - we are both a part of and apart from the world around us. It invites us to reflect on the transient nature of human life and the enduring strength of the structures that house us. 'April 2020: Above the Earth' is a powerful and evocative image that encapsulates the essence of the human condition during a time of crisis. It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the beauty that can be found even in the most challenging of circumstances.
