OLAF, Erwin. April Fool 2020.

(Amsterdam): Mendo, 2020.  First edition.  Hardcover.  32cm by 22cm.  [36]-pages.  A striking visual book in which Olaf documents his emotional response to the COVID‑19 pandemic. The images reflects Olaf’s personal experience of alarm and isolation during the early lockdowns: empty supermarket shelves, surreal stillness, via his own staged presence in deserted everyday spaces, dressed as Pierrot in characteristic theatricality. The sequence weaves together pictures in black & white and colour, capturing moments of the surreal and the familiar, blending absurdity, vulnerability, and reflection.  Illustrated including three large fold-out.  Published in an edition of 350 numbered copies signed by Olaf.
