Andrea D’Amico: Bay Window | LENSCRATCH

The monotony of the workday commute is easily forgettable. It is common for a driver to arrive at their destination with no recollection of the time or events that recently passed by. This occurrence can be attributed in part to the repetitive nature and familiarity of the activity. In the series Bay Window, we sit passenger to the views of Italian photographer Andrea D’Amico’s life on the road. Living in his Volkswagen Bus, he is a person in constant commute. His windows frame moments that might otherwise be neglected. We see roadside culture. We see others in transition and pause. We experience the fleeting sensations of impermanence. D’Amico’s photographs archive these events and suggest that there is variety in a daily drive, and things to remember.
