About the Book
You won't see The Surreal Line listed on any official Tube maps. Or ones enthusiasts keep of abandoned tunnels and disused stations. The ticket office won't tell you what zones it occupies. Platform staff, if questioned, will just shrug and look back at you blankly. A trip may last mere seconds, but offers memorable moments – from disembodied eyes rolling by carriage windows, mischievous squirrels balancing boxes on commuters, to smiling babies leaping over crowded trains. Like routes into Narnia, the entrance is never the same, and once used disappears completely… and all that are left are Yusuf Ozkizil's pictures.
Yusuf Ozkizil is a documentary photographer, who travels through London, armed with a compact camera, seeking to take the banal by surprise. His current project "The Surreal Line" is a series of images that feature chance encounters on the London Underground, between static billboards and the hustle and bustle of the world around them.
