Systematic Tube Stop Books


These sets of accordion books were made around the idea of using the window of an underground train as a frame in which a composition could be placed.

I took a photograph of whatever appeared through the window frame at each stop. The images created were unpredictable and express my short tube journey. The images were random selections of billboards on the London underground, creating new designs from existing design. I created a set of 5 books whereby I traveled across zone 1 along 5 different lines that I happened to use on a particular journey in London. The lines I used were the Northern Line, Central Line, Bakerloo Line, Victoria Line and Jubilee Line.

I timed how long it took to get from each stop to the next, putting this information on the front cover of each book.
