Because of Covid-19 South Africa had one of the strictest lockdowns (Lockdown Level 5) in the world. South Africans had to stay at home and were not even allowed to exercise or walk outside the home. During this initial lockdown we had to process the shock brought upon us by the threat of the virus, the sudden change in our lives and livelihoods, as well as the effects it will have on humanity as a whole. I could process this shock by experimenting with photography and playing with my camera. This is a pinhole photograph taken in my backyard. To experience a sense of freedom, I imagined myself as Little Red Riding Hood, the protagonist of the famous folktale and made myself a cape. The backyard had to serve as the woods through which Riding Hoods walks. The pinhole photograph strangely appears like an X-ray and thus exposes a strange relationship between an imaginary sense of freedom and the real presence of the threat of the virus.
