Corona Heroes by Martin Schitto

In adversity emerge heroes. That’s what they say. And they say in this crisis, the heroes are front-line workers. But they have been there all the time for us. And they’ll always be. Only just now most of us really recognize and appreciate their heroic acts. They and what they do every day need to be more visible. Heroes need a face, be it under a mask or not.

When Covid19 hit Germany and the lockdown kept us all sitting at home waiting for the curve to flatten, Martin Schitto decided to do more than clapping hands and donating pizza for the people working in the health system. He decided to go to a hospital to photograph a report of the doctors and nurses at the end of a day’s shift. #CoronaHeroes was shot on the covid19 ward of “Klinikum Aschaffenburg Alzenau” in late April.
