Quarantined Lives

An international report on 2020, a year sadly marred by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to the testimonies of psychologist Giuliana Attanasio and artist Riccardo Matlakas, artists, doctors and scientists from all over the world (including Sadhguru, but also historical artists such as ORLAN and Stelarc) tell their ideas and experiences, each with a different eye on a drama that is affecting everyone without making distinctions.

Giuliana Attanasio, born in 1980, currently lives in Naples. She attended the University of Florence for a degree in Clinical and Health Psychology; after graduation, she started working nationally and internationally as a freelance practitioner in the clinical and forensic field. Before Quarantined Lives, she penned When Internet Sex Becomes an Addiction and co-authored From Sexual Violence to Femicide; she also writes for various national magazines and manages the YouTube channel "Direzione felicità".

Riccardo Matlakas, born in 1982, currently lives in London. Graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples, he completed a master's degree in Social Sculpture from Oxford Brookes University. On top of exploring the world of visual arts and performance, practising different dance styles and meditation are a constant. He has been featured in numerous international exhibitions: from the Gwangju Biennial in South Korea to the Biennial of Young Artists in Moscow and the Quadrennial in Prague. Riccardo was invited to mark the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics and create artistic works between the South and North Korean border (DMZ). He defines himself as an inborn observer and poetically adapts the same philosophy to his own life. He continues to work internationally focusing on the spiritual and political liberation of humanity.
