Bruce Davidson Subway Series
Bruce's subway series documents life in the New York subway during the eighties, recording the animated energy of train carriages and station platforms across the metropolis.
These super-drenched colour photographs are dark and shadowy, bristling with tension – a stark contrast with today’s sanitized, characterless C-System.
Bruce Davidson Subway Series
Runs at Tate Modern, London until September 7th
