THE SOFT SPACE

An exploration of two surfaces often encountered but rarely sutured together: the human body and the underground. The body is soft and floats in the void, the subway is hard and subterranean. They are both examined and juxtaposed, their sensorial qualities opposite, their differences infinite. Slowly, by montage, they interlace, and they unite, one traversed by the other, one containing the other, they join in movement by a rapid-fire collision that brings them together.
