Over the course of about a year I visited every train and metro stop on the Sydney rail network - got out, went for a walk and took some photos. I had recently moved to the city, and this project was a way of orienting myself. A kind of hyperlocal-tourism meets extended scavenger hunt.
I used the stations as an arbitrary and somewhat democratic catalogue of Sydney. They gave me anchor points, making me spread my time and destinations more broadly. They were also an excuse - a reason to visit places I had no need or claim to. Plus, they were convenient to get to.
Turns out I picked an eventful time to record Sydney via public transport. Over the course of this project the T1 line split (or rather re-split) to create the T9 line, the Metro North West line opened and the T6 line closed shortly after I finished. And then, of course, COVID happened.
