About the book

"From its beginnings in the early part of the 20th century, the New York City subway has captured the imaginations of photographers from Walker Evans to Bruce Davidson. But never has it been so portrayed as in these carefully orchestrated sequences from Christophe Agou, a photographer whose images haunt and intrigue us at the same time. Like millions of others, Agou first experienced the subway as a necessity of his daily commute and soon became aware of the rich human landscape he was part of." "Bridging the worlds of documentary and fine-art photography, Life Below is a series of frozen moments, revealing humanity, love, and solitude. The images are an intimate rendezvous with people in a meditative state from every conceivable walk of life. This is at times a dark, but always a sensitive, view of the unique underworld of the New York City subway system."--BOOK JACKET.
