[UMA-SRE-20200007] PHOTOGRAPHS OF UNIVERSITY UNDER LOCKDOWN

Description

IdentifierUMA-SRE-20200007Extent202 digital photographs (1.99 gb)Scope and ContentIn April 2020, a month after the University of Melbourne started ‘work from home’ due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Strategy and Culture group of University Communications and Marketing commissioned a staff photographer to capture images of the University grounds under lockdown. Photographer Paul Burston took 119 images of the Parkville Campus and 84 of Southbank Campus in a mixture of mono and colour formats.
Paul’s intention was initially to create an historic record for the University. As he was shooting the project he thought that creating a ‘then and now’ body of work would be the most powerful way to illustrate the impact of the pandemic on daily life at the university. He sought out locations that usually have lots of people and life, and will revisit these locations in the future to capture this life when things are back to normal. This acquisition of digital images is part one of the proposed project.Collection CategoryUniversity, officialAccess StatusOpen for public accessRequest Access to RecordsRequest records from this SeriesSearch within this Series
