Permanent pigment ink jet prints

In a car, on a train, in a plane - one sees the world as a blur and no longer experiences the place or time you are zipping past, only that of your destination.  Or, Wolfgang Schivelbusch said of the experience in his writing entitled The Railway Journey:  The Industrialization of Time and Space in the 17th Century, "Early railroad travelers characterized this new technology’s effects as the elimination of time and space, and to transcend the material world all together – to become disembodied.  But, disembodiment has side effects.  The speed and mathematical directness with which the railroad proceeds through the terrain destroy the close relationship between the traveler and the travelled space.”  These photos express the isolation experienced, and the pondering of time in motion, while traveling.
