Amtrak Series. Blurred Red House, NE Corridor c. 20th century

Editor: We're looking at "Amtrak Series. Blurred Red House, NE Corridor," a photograph by Rodger Kingston. There's a real sense of motion, almost like a fleeting memory. What stands out to you? Curator: The blur, for me, speaks volumes about the transient nature of modern life and the socioeconomic landscape visible from the train. The blurred house, seen from the Amtrak, becomes a symbol for the overlooked lives along these routes. What stories might these homes hold? Editor: That's a really interesting take. It makes me think about how easily we can pass by people and places without truly seeing them. Curator: Exactly. Kingston captures that fleeting moment, forcing us to consider our relationship to these communities, and to the very idea of progress. It's about the power dynamics inherent in who gets to travel and who is left behind. Editor: I'll never look at a train journey the same way again. Thank you! Curator: My pleasure. Art invites us to question our perspectives.
