Underline: Collecting Lines
London Underground, London, City Of London, 10/04/2016
ABOUT
For her first public art commission in the UK, Brixton based artist Zineb Sedira has created an ambitious series of films and large-scale photographs that will be displayed at King’s Cross St Pancras, Euston, Highbury & Islington and Brixton from October 2016.
The project, titled ‘Collecting Lines’, is a poetic reflection on networks, mapping and movement, exploring the Victoria line from unusual and often unseen perspectives.
“Through this series of works I wanted to connect both visually and metaphorically with the Underground. As I began my research I was drawn to rails, maps and tunnels, to the hidden cables and tube trains. These formed the basis of my idea, bringing together routes, maps and trains, representing them in unusual ways. A recurring theme in my work is the notion of journeying, and how personal recollection plays a part in that. ‘Collecting Lines’ is a response to the networks, systems and technology that operate as we make our journeys in the city.”
