During the Covid-19 lockdown, I cycled to different parts of London to photograph trans and non-binary people outside of their homes. An unending Sunday morning is a photographic documentation of our unique experiences and feelings of isolation, separation and struggle. Although this project focuses on the effects of the global pandemic, I am interested in how these atemporal emotions exist outside of this specific period of time. The work could resemble a collection of spontaneous encounters with individuals who gaze at the lens outside or near their homes. Hence the large-format black and white photographs suggest a potential parallel reality, in which these portraits might or might not have been taken on a calm Sunday morning. 

Between January and April 2021, I cycled 600 kilometres and photographed forty-five people. With each meeting and photograph, I delved also into their stories and our shared experiences. The process of making these series was as significant as the results – from the email exchanges, to bike rides in challenging weather conditions, to the development of the films in my kitchen. The series also acted as a coping mechanism, a space for reflection and a way of remaining optimistic despite the challenges posed by the health crisis. The title of the project comes from this continuous and peculiar sense of time developed as a result of the pandemic – where each day of the week feels like a “never-ending Sunday morning”.
