New York, at the beginning of the 1980s. A gloomy urban sprawl between hedonism and abyss. The subway, in its dilapidated state, is a hazardous place. Fires in tunnels, muggings, murder and drug trafficking are the order of the day; overcrowded wagons, delays, graffiti and dirt everywhere. The journey with public transport is a nightmare. The photographer Bruce Davidson (born in Oak Park, USA, in 1933) boards the train, immerses himself in the raging, rattling hustle and bustle of the city and portraits the passengers between uniformity and diversity, anonymity and intimacy, depression and inspiration. Whether lovers, musicians, homeless people, tourists or business people—in the subway he finds the perfect metaphor for life in the metropolis with its aggression, ugliness, its hope and humanity. With his special form of street photography, Bruce Davidson transforms the dark, impersonal reality into a colourful world charged with emotion and energy. For the first time in Berlin, C/O Berlin will present a selection of ca. 50 dye-transfer prints from the Subway series by Bruce Davidson.
