For some weeks now it seems that the world has stopped, there are no more economic crises, impeachment, Brexit or armed conflicts. Everything is “Coronaviruscentric”. 

The front pages of the newspapers, the first reports on the news, the insights in the magazines, the homes of our social networks talk about nothing else. And, as often happens, when a news is on everyone’s lips it generates chaos. 

Among the main effects caused by what has been defined by many as psychosis is the disproportionate sale of hand sanitizing gels and masks, which have really flown off the shelves. This has led many people to make some of them homemade with different kinds of objects, from orange peels to water bottles. Who would have thought that the images of these pseudo masks would have inspired one of the most promising designers?

Born in 1991, Max Siedentopf, of German-Namibian origin but London by adoption, has created the project How-To Survive A Deadly Global Virus, a series of 12 shots that offers as many alternative solutions to the classic mask that we find in pharmacies. 

In fact, if the orange peel is fine, why not use a shoe, a bra or even a tampon?! 

Since the virus is currently spreading globally, the series offers handy solutions how you can use simple everyday objects to protect yourself.

Find out all the alternative methods to protect yourself against Coronavirus offered by Max Siedentopf, maybe you’ll find the one that’s right for you!
