In his work Espen Rasmussen usually focuses on humanitarian issues and the challenges related to climate change. On his recent project, “The Longest Day”, he has been working since he went into isolation with his pregnant partner Julia and his kids on March 13. For two months, he followed his three kids and Julia towards giving birth during the lockdown in Norway. In his “very first personal project,” Espen Rasmussen produced intimate, atmospheric images of his life at home showing the mundane routines, insidious fear, and soul-stirring humanity of the coronavirus crisis coalesce. For our topic of the day “In Crisis Mode” Espen Rasmussen will talk about “The crises on your doorstep – photographing and picture editing during Covid-19”.
