Commute

High speed train links have transformed areas near Tokyo into bed towns that serve the global metropolis. While living and working in a Japanese commuter town we were interested in the abstraction of space and time by a high speed link to somewhere else. An identity not fixed but transient between the states of work and home, between personal moments and public space. We asked 5 commuters to make video portraits of themselves by filming their reflection in the train window on their way home at night.
