During the first year of the pandemic, the artist Philippa Found collected more than 900 written accounts of love in the time of COVID-19.
Some of the dreams are comforting; others are surreal or disturbing. Often, the dreamer doesn’t “know in the dream that a breakup ever occurred,” Barrett told me. In one, a woman’s ex berated her for letting the hair on her legs grow out. In another, the government had assigned lockdown partners, and the dreamer “had been told she had to live with her ex for the duration of the pandemic instead of her new, nicer boyfriend.” Nightmare. Barrett has puzzled over the logic behind the dreams.
Some of the stories read like romances in a futuristic, dystopian novel. The characters navigate their lives around a deadly disease that comes to feel commonplace. Affairs are measured against a time line of government restrictions: We met in Lockdown One, got together in Lockdown Two. Many of the authors make note of the rules. “He travelled from his home town to meet me for our first date and I’ve never felt so taken by someone before,” one person wrote.
On a rare sunny afternoon not long ago, Found drove to Hampstead Heath, one of London’s largest and oldest parks, for some chalking. Found, who is four months pregnant and chatty, with bright-blue eyes, was wearing a sleeveless black jumpsuit and gold earrings in the shape of palm trees. She carried a bucket of chalk. “This is good, I like a crossroads,” she said, at the intersection of two pathways.
