Fedele Spadafora And Stefanie Schairer - The underground project (2010)

 

 

THE UNDERGROUND PROJECT is a New York City/Berlin-based art project that aims to bring people together to investigate human behavior in the underground transit systems of cities around the world. Using video created from still photography as our medium, the project strives to capture the chaotic interactions and intimate moments of anonymous individuals who all share the same immediate goal: catching the next train.
What happens between people - their expressions, moods, and stories - is left up to the subjective interpretation of the audience. The execution of the project, the actual creation of the individual frames, is purely accidental as we use total objectivity in capturing the frames. The stories are simply that which unfolds in the brief space of time as we shoot at a specific underground station in a specific city. The rhythm of action comes like waves as trains arrive and leave the station causing crowds of commuters to suddenly come alive like water boiling in a kettle.
