The coronavirus locked us all in for a while. Still, it looks like nothing could lock in the creativity of some artists. If you have an idea, you can turn it into an art project without leaving your room – and this is exactly what the folks of Dugly Habits did. Their short movie Only The Fish Remained Silent was shot entirely in a living room, with a crew of only four people....
Yesterday we showed you South of Home Photography’s beautiful photographs of the New Zealand winter night sky.
