KONEKTION:KOMUTE
Public spaces connect us to our transport, our transport connects us to our lives, our lives connect us to each other.
In todays economically failing society people desperately seek employment purely to survive, working only for money, not passion of purpose. The work they do does nothing but feed the system, devoid of meaning it can lead to emptiness.
KONEKTION:KOMUTE presents a series of urban aesthetics taken around the inner city transport network of Berlin, the domain slots of the routine commuter - twice a day, morning and night, five days a week, year in, year out.
Working beneath human traffic, the barren outlook of unusually vacant space represents empty journeys to souless employment, and by extension the hollow life of the corporate suit on the subway.
By highlighting underlying form of these unnoticed urban vistas the series also aims to trigger the subdued commuter from their transient day to days, prompting them to draw more from the perceived mundane and realise a deeper view of the surrounding environment, encouraging reflection of their own place within it.
