Without title (Metro) Installation, 2021
As an abstraction of industrial transport this installation expresses the organic rhythm of cities by capturing the endless movements in loops of subway trains and the lights they project on tunnels and rails. The installation can be seen as a metaphor of our lives, of the ongoing monotonous rhythm of our working days that unavoidable shapes our lives and surroundings in an endless loop.
Installation 'Without title (Metro)' from the Timeshells project, music by Machinefabriek sounddesign by Adriaan Lokman
The arrival and departure of subway trains in ± 40 subway stations, in Europe and South Korea were filmed and synchronized at the opening and closing of their doors and then assembled as a ‘new’ train. These tracks were animated like snakes before they were video-mapped on the curves of a composition of wooden toy-rails.
