I spoke to this gentleman and I forgot to ask his name. He saw me photographing and we started to have a discussion while the train was at a halt. "It's empty," he said. "But, there are some people who still have work in the city and then need to go home." We both knew he was one of those people. We discussed about how empty the trains have been and how it is a good thing, it's easier to control the interactions and enforece social distance. He worried about getting the Corona Virus. He has a wife and children to go gome to every night. I hope that wherever he is, his health is intact as well as his family's Photos taken at LIRR Station 61st stop. Woodside, Queens

The Door by Rene Sing Brooks

Description
-
An experimental film created by René Sing Brooks. This piece was the final project in (Lecturer) Thomas Seymour's Video Production class this Spring II semester. The artist statement is below. Growing up under the back then kerosene lamp nights of Bluefields, a small city on the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua, had a strong influence on my film and writing sensibilities. My Caribbean childhood and early adolescence have nurtured a lifelong concern with time, memory and personal/communal story, which is reflected in most of my work to date. I have been a digital filmmaker for nearly nine years, mostly as a short form documentarian covering issues of justice system involved individuals and of other community protagonists—mainly fellow artists—dedicated to social-justice struggles. Although my artistic sensibility is significantly shaped by socio-political concerns, this does not preclude the aesthetic exploration of filmmaking’s form and structure for implications beyond—or beneath—the “message”, which in my case draws from dream textures and narrative flows derived from Nicaragua’s African, aboriginal and mestizo magical imaginings. Along the road, I have gathered influences from Béla Tarr, Andrei Tarkovsky and Chris Marker, among others. These creators deftly explore the relationship of form, structure, tempo and meaning, an exploration that is at the heart of my creative concerns and that guides my efforts to develop a personal voice that isn’t alienated from the visual and narrative syntax of my evolving communal experiencing.
