Philip Quinn - The Subway |
November 24, 2008 |

The Toronto subway system functions like a mirror, you see what you want to see; sometimes acts of inexpressible kindness and beauty, and often just that cold paralyzing indifference that exists between strangers. Ensconced in the hard physicality of the Toronto subway system, its mechanisms and those elements of humanity that occasionally peer out from behind the Metro, The SubWay illustrates the history of the TTC and the parallel impact it has on those riding it. The Sub Way examines an underground that in many ways performs as the central nervous system to the city of Toronto. Blending both lyric poetry and found text, readers enter Quinns SubWay, and between stops and starts, effectively see their own subterranean selves.
