Hannah Minzloff's photostream

Halifax-based photographer Hannah Minzloff brought her latest work, UNDERGROUND, to Toronto and Halifax this year. The exhibition is a study of underground transit systems by a photographer who lives in a city without subways. It took place on a TTC subway car and a Metro Transit bus.

Commuters travel by subway simultaneously in urban centres around the globe, consciously retreating into their own worlds, alone but together with strangers, while passing at speed through a network of subterranean tunnels. UNDERGROUND links these moments and explores the intimacy and universality of this communal experience.

The exhibition UNDERGROUND consists of panoramic B&W photographs — shot in 2007 — of underground transit systems in North America and Europe including Toronto, Montreal, London, Paris, Munich and Barcelona. The images are displayed in the advertising spaces on a TTC subway car. In addition to the on-site exhibition, there is a web site with images, audio tracks and a discussion forum.
