Quarantine Conversations: Cristina de Middel and Thomas Dworzak

The photographers talk about the choices photojournalists face when covering death, protections on rights of the individual, Dworzak's new project, and social media

Magnum Photographers

The ongoing COVID-19 crisis has resulted in most Magnum photographers being restricted in their movements.

As part of a broader photographer-led response, a new series, Quarantine Conversations, will see Magnum photographers in frank, and unedited dialogues about work, current affairs, and everything in-between.

The pairings for these conversations will be made by lottery, and this latest installment sees Cristina de Middel direct questions three key questions to Thomas Dworzak. The photographers talk about the choices photojournalists face when covering death, protections on rights of the individual, Dworzak’s new project, and social media.

You can keep abreast of new work on the crisis via Magnum Photos’ Instagram feed. Regular curations of new images will made by project lead Peter van Agtmael and published on this site. See more of Magnum’s COVID-19 coverage here.
