A Daily Sea is a limited-edition portfolio from Simon Roberts comprising 56 photographs looking out to sea from Brighton beach taken daily between the 19th March 2020 when the Covid-19 lockdown in the UK started, and the 13th May when official Government advice changed in England and the lockdown was lifted. The photographs represent an extended meditation on this most significant time in our shared history. Through the repetition of daily seascapes, itself a meditative act, we see one sea in 56 ways, sometimes rough and tumultuous, other times serene and mellow, from dawn to dusk. Each photograph, representing each day of the first Covid-19 lockdown, is interleaved with a printed sheet containing a sea-related quote and the daily/cumulative coronavirus mortality figures for that day.
