Notes

Traffic is a series of photographs Bourcart took with a hidden camera from 1999 to 2003. The artist describes the project in the following words: "There are always traffic jams on Canal Street. The people behind the tinted windows of their large sedans look melancholy and resigned. Others, in buses and taxis, appear bored, overwhelmed by the long day. I stand on the sidewalk, examining them with a powerful telephoto lens. I watch them watching me, incredulous, stupefied, like an animal caught in a cars headlights at night. Some of them dont move. Others try to turn away, protect themselves with a newspaper or their hand. And then there are those who confront my mechanical gaze - mostly women -, abandoning their image to a fate they cannot control" (source: www.jcbourcart.com).
