these are some pictures of his Canal Street Subway Project (1996, Canal Street, New York), where he used a length of tunnel of the underground in new york to make this venetian-like boat scene (while the tunnel was undergoing renovation). he made these little boats and silhouette figures out of tin and wood and aluminium and floated them down the disused rails in a pool of water, so people using the underground had this slightly eery-but-atmospheric (slightly nostalgic?) scene to distract them from their everyday regular subway journey.
