Abstract
This text is the result of reflections developed during the period of social distancing, based on a research of images in the press, in virtual exhibitions of museums in Rio, on ArtRio and on sites specialized in art. On the one hand, the images present testimonies and collective narratives about isolation and illness; on the other hand, they imply the political positions, in an expanded scope.
