It is not uncommon that the most crowded spaces lose its architectural properties, remaining its entity blurred within the rushing passengers. The photographer Chris M. Forsyth proposes in his latest project a new look of wonder about commonly used spaces.

Chris Forsyth's photographs seek a high contrast by combining the dynamic (trains, passengers) and static (the architecture of each station) by taking long exposure photographs that blur the moving objects. The images play with colors, geometry and movement in order to revalue space. The project documents the variety of design present in every subway station in Montreal. This Canadian metro network was inaugurated in 1966 and is known for the architectural quality of its stations, each designed by a different architect.
