The Other Destination" by Aurélien Bomy

Here is a series of photos that I took in April in Nantes (FR) train station.  

It is taken by the windows of the train. Subjects are on the train or on the other side of the train platform and also in the reflections in the window. 

All the shots are composed with the train window as a sub-frame and with reflections which give different layers and add a sort of confusion in the environment .between what is on our side, on the other side of the train, and what is on the other side of the train. that there is in the train. 

That's why I called this series "The Other Destination". 

The train is an impassable border to the other which can only make us imagine. 

It is an invitation to dream the stories of the people who are waiting to leave. Why is he (or she) leaving? What does he (or she) leave? Where is he (or she) going? To find what? 

 

Born in Nantes in 1978, Aurélien developed a taste and interest for the arts at an early stage. He is a clinical psychologist.In parallel with this path, he continues an artistic practice in various ways. He discovers and learns from other artists, designers and graphic designers, how to create, design, illustrate websites, and how to perform in web streaming, computer graphics, animation and video edition. He finds out the use of tools that allow him to give a new impulse to his artistic work, in photography and in the creation of animated collages (Video-collages / motion design).
