Platform

A hand-drawn meditation composed with charcoal on paper documented on 16mm film. “Platform” explores train metaphors: “wrong side of the track;” “end of the line;” “fast track;” “bound for Glory;” etc. The Platform in the New York City Subway provides the architecture for this imaginary contemplation of the word “platform.” Be it a set of principal goals which are supported by a political party or individual candidate; a programmable infrastructure upon which software can be built; an architecture from which to speak or act; a political stage; or simply a place to board the train.
