In The Shadows | Thomas Arslan, 2010

In The Shadows | Thomas Arslan, 2010

All cars, no public transport. Everyone is in their own space, separated from the world by glass and metal, fully in control but reliant on things running smoothly out of it. Bad traffic, other drivers, closed roads. You can’t account for everything. Best laid plans can be uprooted by the unforeseeable. And so it goes, with a heist, planned and executed meticulously, silently co-opted from the shadows by external forces beyond anyone’s control. The camera jumps from first to third person. The hunter becomes the hunted.
