Out of Business: A visualisation of financial distress in the public space amidst Covid-19 pandemic

This visual essay aims to document the financial side effect of the Covid-19 pandemic, that is, of businesses shutting down. The project focuses on all ‘For Rent’ signs on a strip of Ben Yehuda St. in Tel Aviv, Israel. The street, once a lively and prosperous urban location, has been struck down by the absence of tourists and Israelis, due to the many lockdowns and restrictions put in place by the government. The signs have been isolated and highlighted from their surroundings, so as to stress the grave impact on owners and passers-by alike.
