Otilia Maria Martinez Dos Santos, an artist of Portuguese origin, poses for a portrait at the Rony Roller circus, parked in the outskirts of Rome, Saturday, April 18, 2020. Photographer Alessandra Tarantino said she came up with the idea to shoot circus workers after growing frustrated and bored with the postcard-like shots of an empty Rome during lockdown. The shot was taken between poses, with the swing seemingly attached to the sky. “Her empty gaze, lost in the void, deeply affected me. It’s hard to dance without the music”, Tarantino said.

A hunger strike by jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny cast a spotlight on the country’s prison system that critics say is built on fear and torment. Navalny was transferred Sunday, April 18, 2021 from his prison colony to a hospital in another prison amid reports about his declining health that drew international outrage. Nearly 520,000 inmates occupy Russia’s prison system - numerically by far the largest prison population in Europe. Most of the prisons are collective colonies, a system dating back to the Soviet Gulag era, with workshops and inmates sleeping in dormitories. (Photo by Ivan Sekretarev/AP Photo/File)
