'Dystopia', the photographic exhibition on COVID-19 at the Hospital de Dénia
Dystopia is a photographic project on the "zero zone" of the Dénia Hospital, on one of the most frenetic days of COVID-19: on April 16, 2020. The exhibition can be visited from today (July 16) until the end of next September in the cuidArt room of the Hospital de Dénia (central hallway on the ground floor).
The objective of this work is threefold: on the one hand, to pay tribute to all the professionals of the Dénia Health Department; on the other, to immortalize an exceptional health situation and, lastly, to record the effort and strengthening of teamwork.
COVID-19 drew a dystopian scenario of human alienation in Spanish hospitals. But as in many crises, positive situations and opportunities for improvement were also generated. In the case of the Dénia Hospital, a tremendous feeling of collaboration between teams was born, which, in turn, generated new links and work dynamics between the different services. These unions, which have come to stay, undoubtedly result in an improvement in the quality of care.
In these snapshots there are not all who they are, only the professionals who worked that day, in those areas, between 08:00 and 15:00. In most of them access was only allowed to health personnel, dressed in the corresponding Individual Protection Equipment -EPI-. This is how our colleague from the Communication Department, Alejandro Gornemann, accessed the most critical areas of the hospital, with the aim of capturing the unprecedented health moment we were experiencing.
The project has the collaboration of DKV Seguros through its DKV Arteria program.
