Summary/Abstract: Due to the coronavirus crisis, the meaning of concepts such as ‘urban space’ or ‘public space’ have been modified and will no longer work as they did before. This paper will discuss a new understanding of the city and the house caused by limiting interpersonal contacts to communication via social platforms. Current phenomena such as empty streets, loneliness or confined life has inspired artists and will be shown on the example of selected works.
