Passing 015, 2023

Photographer Sava Hoch's photo series Passing is dedicated to motion. He observes the motion of trains, moving between unknown destinations, full steam. The photographer is mesmerized by the moment, in which events, places, and people come together at one point an, and by the fleeting nature of this encounter. The artist invites us to experience an authentic passive experience: be a static point as the train passes by, do nothing about it. It provides rest, thoughtfulness, and a touch of sadness, just like when listening to Bob Dylan's early records: "Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me. I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to."
