A 360° virtual tour of the deserted center of Lviv created during the COVID-19 quarantine. The project captured the city's iconic landmarks — Rynok Square, the City Hall, the Opera House, and others — at a time when the usually tourist-crowded streets emptied.

This work is a kind of "time capsule": it preserves a unique period of urban silence and allows for a close examination of architectural details.

Project Objective:

To document Lviv in the exceptional conditions of silence caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and to create a 360° virtual tour that preserves this moment for future generations and allows people to see the city in an unusual way.

Key stages of the project:

  • Perform aerial photography of the empty center of Lviv and its prominent landmarks during the COVID-19 quarantine.
  • Create a 360° virtual tour based on the photographic materials.
