Statement
A personal view of London’s underground train network. The daily spectacle is emphasised by in-camera superimpositions and perfected by the removal advertising and graffiti by painting on the negative. This idealised, lyrical view of the off-peak experience is then contrasted with the reality of the rush-hour commuting.
