​“Symptoma 20” is a video project that explores 9 different lives as they adapt
to the strange new world caused by the COVID-19 crisis. Individual and collective struggles
that mirror daily challenges of today take an experimental turn in this multiversed world
​where reality has two definitions.

" Let’s get this clear
         so you can understand
               so YOU can understand
        Because if YOU can not / understand
            then you get angry
                       then you get loud
                then you get pissy and snippy and violent!
         Yes, you do!

It’s all about YOU.
                         Isn’t it?                
                                                     You.​​
It’s all about you tonight.     
                                    It’s always been YOU."
