A Peek to the Other Side

Photos from my mini-series, When a Woman Descends the Escalator. 2019.
(Five points if you know the film I borrowed the title idea from - let me know in the comments.)

It truly felt like photographing another world; and being invisible - but for one shot, where I felt seen, although it's hardly possible. By now, it feels as if I had photographed another world in a previous life.
Just think of all the unrestricted family rides in the pre-lockdown world. And of all the ones you've missed since. No fun, eh.

Oh, and that's my memory of the curious case when someone from the other side peeked my way:
(he wasn't my object, either, you see; he wasn't a woman)

Hurray, next entry on the blog! The audience has been waiting.

My guess is: 女が階段を上る時. Did I hit the five-point spot?

Felix, ha. You get double the points; that is full ten, a big, fat one-zero, for googling the original title (i.e. in Japanese). Have you seen the film?

PS
What a title! Innit? :)

I saw the film only after you'd mentioned it, so thanks a lot for inspiration. I had, however, known its title long before. Agreed; it's a truly good one. I appreciate titles and names which are unmistakeable. (in modern terms: easy to google ;)

And I have a thing for b&w films with jazzy soundtracks from around 1960. They tend to be elegant in a pleasant way, even though their subjects are quite often not.
