Artist's Statement
The subway. Subterraneos. “Subte” as it’s called
in Buenos Aires, a city of constant movement.
It is my primary way of getting around when I visit
Argentina’s capitol. My subte station is part of the
first line opened here in Latin America (circa 1913).
The Metro. Known to some as simply “the train”.
Unique urban experience. It engages all senses
at once. I hoped that the fast film in my camera
would register my vision of vibrant color and motion,
washes of light, with shifting patterns everywhere.
Mass transit. A system now on heightened alert.
New security requires permission to photograph.
Often I just rode the train, complete in my thoughts.
Public transport through tunnels of time and change
to as many private destinations as there are riders.
