Although the New York subway can be as lively as an anthill, at the same time it is also a forcefully alienated place, as it is ruled by antisocial instincts, which a person betrays with headphones, a mobile phone, a tablet, etc., and which he slyly avoids like a fox interaction. But what happens when someone 'breaks', when he breaks the unwritten rule of silence or even worse, untouchability? This was discovered by George Ferrandi and Angela Gillands.
And a series of photos was created »It felt like I knew you…” (“It felt like I knew you…”) that touch you the way George's head touched the shoulders of strangers. This is the project American artist went on the subway in the evening when the trains were packed. In the first phase she studied the space between her and her neighbor, then him mentally and emotionally transformed, thereby slowly starting to demolish 'Berlin wall', which took place between them, and laid a soft friendly on the ruins before the last act 'pillow'. When she mentally and physically drove the space away and mentally transformed the stranger into a friend, she just 'laid' her head on a stranger's shoulder. And the stories that were born - contrary to expectations - are far from reaching the level the absurdities of "The Stranger" Albert Camus. They warm the heart and restore faith in man.
The images collected in the gallery were taken with an iPhone and show multiple levels of the same interaction:
