Tube Folk

This is a bit of an experimental video piece that I shot (on my phone) whilst sitting on the Northern Line some time ago. It's in part inspired by L'Autre, a book of 'stolen' portraits secretly snapped on the Paris Metro. I was interested to see how daring I could be in filming people without their noticing, and to capture the faces of people in 'downtime', stuck on the tube with nothing to do but wait till their stop.

I was going to add a soundtrack, but the tube sounds captured seemed to work, so I left them in.

Indeed! I didn't get caught though (as far as I can remember)
