IF THIS WERE AN OVERSIZED HARDCOVER IT WOULD BE FIVE STARS.
I am in actual physical pain. Because Adam Magyar's photographs of subway cars - captured as incredibly detailed stills from the side as they move though tunnels, so you can see the people inside - are intensely moving and marvelous. If I had a big wide open wall in my house, I would scrape my pennies together until I could buy one of these. And hang it there forever and ever. Just So Amazing.
(My words don't work well for this - which is why art is art, because there's shit you can't use words for. You have to art it.)
Physically, this book is roughly 10x10, softcover, perfect bound. Some of the pages do fold out to be longer. But. Still.
It's just a tease. It's a tease that says, "you have to have a home with a massive wall so you can buy the real-sized picture." And I've got blue balls.
