I just listened to an excellent presentation on comics & infrastructure by Dr Giada Peterle, part of online talks organised by @drdomdavies.bsky.social within @ttinfranetwork.bsky.social. Such a creative, inspiring & generous scholar! (Her drawings on my book from gh.copernicus.org/articles/80/...)
Black & white comic by Giada Peterle, within a visual review of J Fall's book "Along the line". The visual commentary uses quotes from the book in dialogue with drawn personal experiences by G Peterle, drawn as a visual response as part of her written commentary. The two panel page shows and assemblage of mobile phone app used to control mobility, feet and bodies moving in the city during covid lockdowns, as a sort of visual dialogue between two experiences of the same pandemic in different places. Same as previous, showing small infrastructure elements of fences and tapes to control the movement of bodies during covid lockdowns.
