Platform

“Platform” exists in the new Madison concourse under Grand Central Station. It features portraits of 40 New Yorkers in a slow motion moment together of awe. The “Platform” in this piece is intentionally left vague. Is it a political platform, a subway platform, a social media platform? Are these people looking at a great work of art or something terrifying?

"Platform" is a video artwork commissioned by MTA Arts and Design by Gabe Barcia-Colombo examining what it means to be back together in a crowd after years spent apart. The work features a large portrait of 40 New Yorkers in a slow motion moment of awe as they come together to examine the passersby in the new Grand Central terminal.
