“Places I Peed During the Pandemic is a time capsule of unemployment during Covid-19. Text messages, journal entries, short essays and lots of photos of a time when long walks were my solace, an ambulatory saving grace.
No longer working two service industry jobs, time was all my own. But pandemic unemployment didn’t unleash my creativity. Instead it left me anxious. Neutered. I didn’t write or edit, read or record. But I walked. Long walks, head down. all over an eerily quiet San Francisco.
Public bathrooms were scarce. My bladder is small. Soon I began documenting my pit stops. Places I peed during the pandemic. They’re mostly triptychs documenting the spot, the stream and the landscape, organized by date and time of day.
I’m not an exhibitionist. But there is a time for everything.” - Artist
