Journey(s)

A journey created from images seen through windows on trains in Europe and North America, shows rhythms and patterns common to all train travel without blurring the distinctiveness of these individual trips. In the encapsulated train interior, passengers feast on views of varying landscapes, abstract images, and reflections projected over the scenes that they are unable to enter.

Voices on cell phones and a conversation between tourists who have met on board emphasize the uniqueness of this separated space within. The cadences of electrical poles flashing by and repetitions of overhead bridges underscore the monotony, sense of suspended time, and transitory realm between departure point and destination, a vantage point from which one can only imagine what may lie beyond.
