Anonymous passengers traveling westbound through Friday rush hour in the Hamptons are observed through silent high-speed video that functions and exists between documentary, pictorial portraiture, and abstraction. The theatrical edition is constructed from an over 18 hours long work, and reveals the subject as not just the drivers or vehicles, but the consideration of time, labor, behavior.
Filmed along a major artery on Long Island, the work captures construction workers, landscapers, tradespeople, families, and commuters and the fleeting, yet revealing, moments as they pass through the same section of roadway and at the end of a hot Spring workweek.
Arguments, laughter, eating, exhaustion, intimacy, distraction, and routine unfold within these mobile private spaces — among the last vestiges of unguarded personal life in contemporary society. While expanding perception of otherwise imperceptible gestures, unseen compositions and human behaviors hidden within the everyday unfold like a moving photograph.
The submitted cut is a feature length assembly from the larger work currently exceeding 18 hours.
