On weekdays 9 million people (almost the population of New York City) use the metro.

As a result, the Metro comes to life – couples kiss and set up dates at stations, passengers carefully hold on to pets, children try to guess station names, and everyone admires the view from the open stations (Izmailovskaya or Vorobievy Gory). Youngsters go to Halloween parties all bloodied up with make-up, sitting there in the rail cars (text on the window - Do not lean on doors).

The Moscow Metro is a whole new world. Each Muscovite will tell you stories about how they once ran after the last train, or traveled inside a rail car decorated with water color paintings or Shakespeare quotes, or tried to push a stroller, bicycle, or large bag inside, or got acquainted with someone there...

In the daytime, avoiding the rush hours, musicians entertain passengers with accordions, guitars, violins, contrabasses and singing as they make their way through the carriages.

“For 5 years I’ve been taking photos of life in the Moscow Metro, capturing it on my phone, while going to work and back. For 5 years I’ve been dreaming about making a photo exhibition about it. And finally I have time and I am brave enough.”
The project is called Memento Metro – a reference to the famous phrase Memento Mori. It means, “Remember it’s the Metro”. Remember this story happened here, at this very place, and will never happen again."/p p ">Видео опубликовано Tirrey (@tirrey) Ноя 21 2016 в 4:13 PST
"People underground seem more vulnerable and tense. I find a special attractiveness in that and it’s a challenge to capture the moment. For me, this exhibition is endless, and the Metro itself is a large exhibition hall.”
