TransitStory

Jill Anholt

Enlivening the experience of the Centre Street LRT station are 30 sculptural commuters standing alongside transit users, collectively waiting for the next train to arrive.

About this work

Thousands of people wait in spontaneous collectivity on the LRT platform. In transit, they wait alone - vaguely aware of the anonymous presence of others. Each individual shares a brief moment in time and space; a temporary moment of belonging. TransitStory evokes the ephemeral presence and memory of travellers. Present and absent, seen and unseen, this work seeks to capture the fleeting trace of human presence within public space.
