Project Description

How are you? – The reflecting individual

This work shows images of public transportation from different perspectives, each dedicated to an own individual responding to the question: ¿comó estás?.
Public transportation is an everyday medium with the primary function of getting from point A to point B. What happens between point A and point B is often communication with each other, immersion in social networks, or a composition of thoughts that arise from the individual’s concerns and result in a state of reflection. A reflection that, despite the physical proximity within the spatiality of this predestined medium, remain hidden from us. The audio plays us a small glimpse into the interior of the individuals in our city. Those who might share with you and me a row of seats, during times of pandemy, regardless of the pandemy. Just the individual and its concerns.
The answers were collected by means of a survey box with the inscription “¿Comó estás?”, which was placed in different areas of the city center during the timeframe from Monday to Friday. The results were utilized in the sub-areas of the “Pandemic city”: El transporte público and espacios públicos. Part of the “¿comó estás?” series is as well “el desampado”, though the methodology in the extraction of the results varied in this one.
