Kaleidoscope

Kaleidoscope was a public art installation that transformed an Atlanta subway car into a moving gallery during the annual Atlanta Celebrates Photography festival. The piece was commissions by Atlanta Celebrates Photography (now known as the Atlanta Center for Photography) in conjunction with the Metro Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA). I photographed Atlanta landmarks and signature events and then turned these images into kaleidoscope patterns that were printed on adhesive material and attached to the floors, walls and ceilings of a MARTA subway car. Passengers were also given toy kaleidoscopes so they could look at the passing city and imagine a transformation of the landscape. Kaleidoscope played on the relationship between transportation systems and efforts to envision a more livable city.
