In the early days of March 2020, Hangar Photo Art Center in Brussels launched a mission focusing on the theme “The World Within”. It was open to all photo artists confined in Europe due to the pandemic lockdown. The idea was that this restrictive capsule of confinement might induce a form of introspective and creative resilience, opening the possibility of future positive change. Close to 500 participants responded to the call, and a tough selection process led the jury to choose around 30 winners. This volume, published as the fifth edition of the PhotoBrussels Festival organised by Hangar, is the result, a touching, multifaceted anthology on the experience of isolation as seen through the eyes of individuals, families, communities, and cities.
