Assisted by two researchers, Christoph Girardet and Matthias Müller selected images from more than 500 feature films and edited them into a new work, shown on three screens. The film fragments are grouped by means of the pulse of the onrushing train and the stroboscopic effect created by the images of landscapes and travellers as they slip past. The editing suggests that travellers from different eras are still engaged in a shared journey. The film reflects our experience of travel: we look at the landscape, sink back in our thoughts, and let time go by for the duration of the train ride.
