This movie was produced for the Pushkin Museum project "100 Ways to live a Minute". It shows the artists Christa Sommerer & Laurent Mignonneau during March 25th 2020, a day they spent in home quarantine due to the Corona crisis. We see the artists´ various activities, such as answering emails, reading, drawing, programming, online teaching, making music, doing gymnastics and checking the news. The artists are permanently surrounded by numerous symbolic Corona virus organisms that seem to loom everywhere.
