In addition to receiving $6,000 each, the two grantees will receive mentorship for the duration of their project from either Mallory Benedict of National Geographic or Jehan Jillani of The Guardian. Our hope is that this grant will provide support and mentorship to photographers who are working on one of their first long-term projects and have had limited exposure to national and international assignments and publications.

Due to COVID-19 pandemic there is a ban on public attending football matches, so the celebration was marked in an unusual way, near the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers. While the players were sailing on the river Sava in a boat, the fans lit torches on the shore and on Branko bridge.

"Feeling blue" is about a dystopian future, where humans live in isolation and where all social interaction is banned. The project is inspired by the ongoing pandemic of the coronavirus. One of the measures being taken to slow the spread of the virus is isolation.

She explains that, "since humans are social creatures, isolation can, in the long term, affect people's mental health and even physical wellbeing. Being self-isolated for two weeks has already ruined my sleep pattern. This made me wonder how we would all cope if today's extraordinary circumstances were to become our everyday routine in the future."

She used film negatives as a metaphor for her own negative feelings towards the possibility of a total inversion of social reality and past social pressure to engage in human interaction is replaced with the demand to isolate oneself, just like light and dark surfaces are inverted in negatives.

The project was first published at online media platform

Mano Svanidze (1992) is a Georgian photographer currently based in Tbilisi.
