Single-channel video: 2:43 min
Scan of a Train Ride uses slit-scanning techniques to reimagine the repetitive motion of long commutes. The piece captures the strange detachment of passing time. As the train moves forward, time and space blur into fluid, fragmented visuals, creating a hypnotic rhythm. The accompanying soundscape by Tara Cunningham enhances the atmosphere, evoking the mental and physical disconnection caused by exhaustion and monotony. The work reflects the liminal state between awareness and indifference, immersing the viewer in a deeply personal yet universal experience of routine and resilience.
