Tunnel Vision
2008

During 2008, Bigert & Bergström’s four-channel film installation, Tunnel Vision, was shown at Skanstull subway station in Stockholm. The film depicts fourteen subway drivers as they travel through the tunnels of Stockholm. At each station they switch place, and their personal stories are dissolved into one another. Like a train of thoughts, the associative structure of the film creates a dream like underground landscape, where the drivers inner ideas are seen in the dim light of the surrounding tunnels.

The project was initiated by the Stockholm Subway Art Department in collaboration with KiWi, Stockholm. The film was co-produced by Swedish Television (SVT) Documentary Films.
