METRÓ 3

Photo Essay [Budapest, Hungary 2018]

Line 3 of the METRÓ was built in the 70s with the help of the Soviet Union. The M3 is currently being modernized, and half of the line is already under reconstruction.
Soon the last traces of Soviet European aesthetics will have disappeared from the cityscape: intense wall colors, playful design elements, and dramatic lighting. Together, these elements create an atmospherically dense place full of theatricality and nostalgia.
Although people move in public space, each seems to be absorbed in his or her own affairs. Intimate situations or curious moments arise. The Metró becomes a stage.
