When COVID-19 spread across the globe, protection measures such as social distancing, self-isolation, and self-quarantine were experienced as life on hold. A cultural inquiry into the moment of pausing and its social, political, and personal manifestations, The Pause captures the experience of being inside the pandemic even as that experience continues to unfold.
