Zoom Books is a collection of three photo shoots taken by Catherine Walsh through Zoom conference and made into visual art by Pénélope Delaur.
Catherine was inspired to collaborate with friends during the Covid-19 lockdowns. At the time, she was in Dublin, living alone in a small studio apartment. The restrictions were isolating. She couldn’t go beyond 5 km from her home or meet up with anyone. All of a sudden, everything was on Zoom — sending people a link was the ‘new normal’ way of hanging out, working, exercising, etc. So, why not a new way to make art?
While photography traditionally requires your subject to be nearby, restrictions and the shift to online interactions had changed how we perceived distance. Catherine decided to take this as an opportunity to collaborate with friends in different locations around Europe:
Karianne, a dancer in Oslo, Norway.
Evelyn, a dancer in Poznan, Poland.
Pénélope, a model in Valencia, Spain.
