'HIS PHOTOS ARE NOT JUST IMAGES OF THE NIGHT, THEY SMELL OF THE NOCTURNAL WORLD, OF DAMP GREEN AND MOSS-COVERED TREES’- CHARLOTTE VAN LINGEN ON A CLOT IN TIME.

Dutch photographer Eli Dijkers went to explore his new neighbourhood, having moved from his hometown Rotterdam, The Netherlands, to Birmingham, England, when the world, in early 2020, had come to a standstill. Staying within a ray of one kilometre from his home, he discovered empty lanes, streetlights that shone for no-one, a lonely passer-by hurrying to a better place, a ghost in an abandoned city. Photographing with an eye for detail, Dijkers documented a year in which ‘lockdown’ became a familiar saying, in colour and in black and white.
