#Passenger from Tessa Garland on Vimeo.

#Passenger 2016 3 minutes 15 secs, 2016
 H264 1080 x 1920 HD

Shot on a mobile phone #Passenger records people travelling on London’s underground. Totally unaware of the camera watching them the footage reveals the lure of the smart phone. A soundtrack of glitches, signals and interference are edited to facial expressions and finger swipes, making a rhythmic dialogue between the phones and individuals. The pulsating patterns of the tunnels form a hypnotic presence that reference early science fiction films of the 50’s and 60’s.
