Verchers-Chnotäpunkt

For the duration of my four years of study, I lived in Olten, which is the center of the Swiss rail network and often jokingly referred to as Switzerland's biggest train station. As I travelled by train every day, and spent a lot of time in large crowds, mainly blocking out the mass of people and going about my day.

For this project I wanted to take a close look at the people I travelled alongside, and try to get a glimpse into just a short moment of their daily lives. Although the intricacies and details of their life remained a mystery to me, for that shared moment I felt a deeper sense of connection to my fellow travellers. Additionally, I have supplemented the illustrations with some Swiss song lyrics, a surprising amount of which are about our shockingly efficient public transport.
